The goal of this clinical trial is to learn if simple, easy-to-use educational materials can help people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) better understand their condition. The study will also look at how people feel about using these materials and if the education affects their daily life and well-being.
The main questions it aims to answer are:
Researchers will compare written and audio education to see which format works better for learning and user experience.
Participants will:

| Written PDF Document | Other | A structured written PDF booklet covering key domains of inflammatory bowel disease, including anatomy, physiology, etiology, risk factors, pathology, diagnosis, treatments and targets, monitoring, surgeries, pregnancy, and vaccines. The material is explicitly designed to address all questions related to the IBD-KNOW questionnaire, and was developed by expert gastroenterologists, ensuring comprehensive educational coverage. |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Extended Inflammatory Bowel Disease Knowledge (IBD-KNOW) Questionnaire | Change in the scores of the 35-item extended Inflammatory Bowel Disease Knowledge (IBD-KNOW) questionnaire to assess knowledge retention and evaluate user experience. The original IBD-KNOW questionnaire is a validated tool for measuring disease-related knowledge among patients with inflammatory bowel disease. It consists of 24 items covering anatomy and function, epidemiology, diet and lifestyle, general IBD knowledge, medications, complications, surgeries, pregnancy, and vaccinations. For this study, 11 additional items (items 25-35) were developed by IBD expert gastroenterologists to assess knowledge related to treatment, monitoring, and follow-up strategies. All items use simple True / False / Do not know response options. Total scores range from 0 to 35 points, with higher scores indicating better disease-related knowledge. | Three months after enrollment (CONT group) or receiving the educational material (READ and HEAR groups). |
| Measure | Description | Time Frame |
|---|---|---|
| Likert Scale for Participant Satisfaction With Educational Content | Participant satisfaction with the educational material is measured using a 0-10 Likert scale to provide standardized, objective assessment of user experience. The scale ranges from 0 (not satisfied at all) to 10 (extremely satisfied), with higher scores indicating greater satisfaction with the educational content. | Three months after receiving the educational material (READ and HEAR groups). |

| Audio Podcast. | Other | A structured audio podcast covering key domains of inflammatory bowel disease, including anatomy, physiology, etiology, risk factors, pathology, diagnosis, treatments and targets, monitoring, surgeries, pregnancy, and vaccines. The material is explicitly designed to address all questions related to the IBD-KNOW questionnaire, and was developed by expert gastroenterologists, ensuring comprehensive educational coverage. |

| Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ) Follow-up | A follow-up questionnaire assessing patients' subjective experiences with telemedical education and its impact on quality of life using the Short Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (SIBDQ). The SIBDQ is a validated self-reported measure of health-related quality of life in IBD, consisting of 10 items, each rated on a 1-7 Likert scale. Total scores range from 10 to 70, with higher scores indicating better health-related quality of life. | Three months after receiving the educational material (READ and HEAR groups). |
| Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) Follow-up | A follow-up questionnaire assessing patients' subjective experiences with telemedical education and its impact on mental health using the Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9). The PHQ-9 is a validated, self-administered 9-item depression severity scale, with each item scored from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). Total scores range from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicating more severe depressive symptoms. An additional functional-impairment item asks how difficult the reported problems have made it for patients to work, manage household responsibilities, or interact with others. | Three months after receiving the educational material (READ and HEAR groups). |
| Disease activity Follow-up | A follow-up questionnaire assessing patients' subjective experiences with telemedical education and its impact on disease activity. Participants rate agreement (Agree / Do not agree) with statements regarding lifestyle modification, disease management, frequency of flares and overall quality of life. | Three months after receiving the educational material (READ and HEAR groups). |
