Abstract

Introduction: Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is one of the most common
digestive disorders and more prevalent reason for missing work after the common
flu. Methods: the current study utilized cross-sectional descriptive research design
and was conducted in King Abdulaziz Hospital in Al-Ahsa Region. The sample
size 150 subjects who were in king Abdulaziz hospitals and fulfill the following
criteria: age from 21- 60 years, both sex, accept to be included in the study and
who selected according to Rome Criteria IV, which states that they must have
experienced abdominal pain at least once per week for the previous three months.
Subjects with a history of Crohn's disease, diverticulitis, peptic ulcer, ulcerative
colitis, colon cancer, or IBS were not included in this study. Four tools was used
in this study, patient's demographic data tool, patient's clinical data, the IBS-QOL
tool and Irritable bowel syndrome - severity symptom scale (IBS-SSS) .Results:
Nearly 50% of the participants were men between the ages of 21 and 29, and over
50% of those people were married, graduated from university and unemployed.
Finally, the present study shows that most demographic and clinical factors do not
significantly influence QOL in IBS patients though; family history plays an
important role. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that QOL was
significantly correlated with the severity of IBS symptoms. Recommendations:
Regular plans for continuous patient education are necessary for symptom control
and to lessen the negative impact of the condition on QOL. Replicating the study
with a bigger sample from a different kind of institution is necessary to generalize
the results to a larger population.
