The MIND4IBD Intervention: Mindfulness is commonly defined as aying attention in a particular way, on purpose, in the present moment and non-judgmentally to the unfolding of experience moment by moment Mindfulness has also been defined as a mental engagement that introduces a space in-between one perception and response, which helps to regulate how an individual relates to that experience rather than attempting to change the experience themselves? Ultimately mindfulness-based interventions aim to foster non-judgmental awareness of emotions, thoughts, and behaviour, supporting individuals to respond to their experiences in more adaptive ways, instead of reacting in an automatic habitual pattern. The core components of MBI typically include psychoeducation, mindfulness meditation, and mindfulness activities. Our intervention is consistent with the core principles and components of mindfulness. Our intervention is also tailored to people with Inflammatory Bowel Disease (IBD) in several ways. Research has shown that people with IBD experience unique disease related worries related to concerns surrounding QoL (e.g., travelling, toilet frequency), unpredictability (of flares in symptoms), the symptoms themselves (e.g., fatigue, pain), and treatment concerns (e.g., medication side effects). The intervention will incorporate these unique disease related worries within intervention modules themselves. We will also provide psychoeducation surrounding the brain-gut connection in IBD. Our 6-week MIND4IBD intervention includes six fully scripted modules, each addressing different mindfulness themes or principles. All modules are self-led and delivered wholly online via a website, and include written material, video and/or voice recordings.
