OBJECTIVE: To conduct a meta-analytic review of psychosocial adjustment of youth with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD).
METHODS: Nineteen studies with a total of 1167 youth with IBD (M age = 14.33, 50% female) were included. Effect size (ES) estimates were calculated for anxiety symptoms & disorders, depressive symptoms & disorders, internalizing symptoms & disorders, externalizing symptoms, quality of life (QOL), social functioning, and self-esteem. Separate ESs were calculated for comparisons between IBD and youth with chronic illnesses versus healthy youth.
RESULTS: Youth with IBD had higher rates of depressive disorders and internalizing disorders than youth with other chronic conditions. Youth with IBD had higher parent-reported internalizing symptoms, lower parent- and youth-reported QOL, and lower youth-reported social functioning compared to healthy youth.
CONCLUSIONS: Clinical attention to depressive disorders, QOL, and social functioning may be particularly salient in the context of pediatric IBD.
