An exploration of how health care professionals assess and support sleep and fatigue in a pediatric IBD population

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to understand the current ways that healthcare professionals (HCPs) are assessing and intervening related to fatigue in pediatric IBD, and understand the current self-reported experience of fatigue in pediatric patients in clinical remission and those with active disease.

Specific Aims:

1. Identify the perception of prevalence of fatigue HCPs have regarding pediatric IBD patents
2. Identify the way(s) in which HCPs assess for fatigue in pediatric IBD patients
3. Identify the way(s) in which HCPs intervene related to fatigue in pediatric IBD patients
4. Identify potential reported differences between HCPs in assessing and intervening related to fatigue in pediatric IBD (e.g., are there descriptive differences between how a pediatric GI and a pediatric psychologist assess and intervene?)
5. Identify the self-reported fatigue of patients in clinical remission and patients with active disease

Study Period: January 2022-October 2022
