Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The primary aim of the proposed research is to investigate the extent to which a one-week online gratitude intervention can improve levels of wellbeing in individuals living with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD). A secondary aim was to investigate the extent to which dispositional gratitude influences levels of coping and wellbeing and to what extent this mediates the effect of the intervention. Participants with IBD will be randomized to either treatment or control group. Participants will complete measures pre- and post- intervention, and follow-up (eight weeks) measuring: gratitude (state and trait), illness severity, mood, stress and coping.
