LIVING WITH IBD: Sex and Sexual Satisfaction
Up to 58% of individuals reported impaired sexual functioning, and 46% of females and 30% of males reported reduced sexual satisfaction after IBD diagnosis. The aim of this research is to explore various factors that may impact the relationship between sexual function and satisfaction, such as; body image, self-esteem, relationship satisfaction, sexual communication, psychological distress and disease activity. Your responses will help us better understand the impact of IBD has on sexual dysfunction and sexual satisfaction. Your participation will also help us understand other factors that may contribute to their relationship. The information provided will also be used to help inform support interventions in this area.
The study involves completing an online questionnaire which should take approximately 30 minutes to complete.
