Evaluation of the effectiveness of emotion regulation skills training on gastrointestinal sensitivity, disease perception, anxiety sensitivity and quality of life in patients with irritable bowel syndrome

Quasi-experimental intervention with pre-test and post-test with control group. With a sample size of 48 people.The permuted random blocking method is used to do randomization

The statistical population is outpatients with irritable bowel syndrome.With the referral of Dr. Elham Mokhtari, an internal medicine specialist and gastroenterologist, they enter the study with the inclusion criteria.They are randomly divided into control and intervention groups.The experimental group is trained in emotion regulation skills.These skills are held according to the Gross protocol and in 8 sessions in Mashhad University of Medical Sciences.

Inclusion criteria: Irritable bowel syndrome with diagnosis of gastroenterologist and diagnostic criterion Romm-III Age 20 to 55 years Have at least 8 literacy classes Having informed consent to enter the research Have at least some insight into the psychological cause of your illness

Emotion adjustment skills training for the experimental group. The control group did not intervene.

Digestive sensitivity, disease perception, anxiety sensitivity, quality of life.

The permuted random blocking method is used to do randomization. In this method, 12 blocks of 4 will be randomly selected from a combination of letters A and B. These blocks are as follows AABB, ABBA, BBAA, BAAB, ABAB, and BABA. Allocating the letters A and B to the intervention and control groups will be done randomly before randomization and the data analyst will be unaware of the intervention and control groups. The researcher, having a list of people (a list of 48 people who are going to participate in the project), assigns a numeric code to each person. It then offers the anonymous list of members (containing only the numeric code) to the sample assignor to the groups. First, the sample assignor organizes the selected blocks as described, writes them on separate sheets of paper (12 separate sheets), and places them in sealed envelopes. Then s/he randomly selects the envelopes and, based on the previously selected codes, A and B, determines the numerical code number of the individuals assigned to A and B interventions and provides it to the researcher. For instance, if the BABA block is selected first, the first person on the list will be assigned to group B, the second person to group A, the third person to group B, and the fourth person to group A. Likewise, participants 5 to 48 will be assigned to groups A and B.
