NCT ID NCT07652840

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This trial tests whether a nurse-led education program, based on the Health Belief Model, can improve treatment adherence in people with inflammatory bowel disease (Crohn's disease or ulcerative colitis) who are receiving anti-TNF therapy. The program aims to address patients' concerns and barriers to taking their medication as prescribed. The study compares this structured education to the standard education usually given in clinics, measuring adherence and patient-nurse collaboration.
