Current medical intervention tends to focus exclusively on the disease, and does not focus on disease management and coping through self-management skills. Disease self-management involves ―the interaction of health behaviours and related processes that patients and families engage in to care for a chronic disease‖ [13]. Studies in both the adult and pediatric chronic illness literature have shown that comprehensive interventions that augment medical treatments with self management therapy, lead to better medical outcomes and better quality of life than care that is strictly medically focused [4-6, 14-24]. These self-management studies are focused on chronic diseases such as diabetes, asthma and rheumatoid arthritis. There have been several small studies of psychological interventions in adult IBD patients with promising results, though issues with design limited the interpretation of the results [25-28]. Disease self-management is more than simple adherence to treatment guidelines - it also incorporates psychological and social management of living with a chronic illness.
