Purpose: The purpose of this descriptive, correlational study is to examine how sleep disturbance, pain, anxiety, depression, and fatigue/low energy (SPADE) symptoms cluster in adolescents living with IBD. We will also examine whether demographic, clinical, and self-management variables are associated with symptom cluster membership.
Specific Aims:
Aim 1: Examine how SPADE (sleep disturbance, pain, anxiety, depression, and fatigue) symptoms cluster in
adolescents with IBD.
Aim 2: Evaluate associations between symptom cluster membership and demographic, clinical, and self-
management variables in adolescents with IBD. Data will be collected at baseline and at 6 months
post-baseline.
Study Period: The timeline for this study is based on an anticipated start date of April 30, 2022.
