Development of the SC-IBD Self-Care Measurement Scale

This study aims to develop and validate a disease-specific self-care measurement scale for patients with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). The research follows a sequential mixed-methods design: a qualitative phase to identify key self-care concepts, followed by a quantitative phase to test the psychometric properties of the newly developed SC-IBD scale in an outpatient population.
