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.

What this could lead to
If effective, this education program could help people with inflammatory bowel disease stick to their anti-TNF treatment, potentially improving disease control and quality of life.
