BACKGROUND: Psychological profile of @entity29 @entity1 is not well studied in Iran. We investigated the psychological status of Iranian @entity1 with @entity31 ( @entity31 ) and its relationship with disease activity and quality of life (QOL). MATERIALS AND METHODS: A cross-sectional study was conducted on adult @entity31 @entity1 . The Lichtiger Colitis Activity Index, Hospital @entity148 and @entity308 Scale, General Health Questionnaire-12, and WHOQOL-BREF, were completed by the @entity1 . RESULTS: From 120 studied @entity1 , 35 (29.2%), 48 (40.0%), and 46 (38.3%) had significant @entity148 , @entity308 , and @entity458 , respectively. @entity148 , @entity308 , and @entity458 were strongly correlated with disease activity (r = 0.357 to 0.439, P < 0.01). Disease activity was negatively correlated with all QOL dimensions (r = -0.245 to -0.550, P < 0.01). @entity148 , @entity308 , and @entity458 were also negatively correlated with all QOL domains (r = -0.356 to -0.789, P < 0.01). In the regression models, @entity148 was independently associated with active disease (b = 4.150, P = 0.049). Furthermore, disease activity was associated with the physical health (b = -0.371, P < 0.001). For almost all of the QOL domains, @entity308 and @entity458 were independent predictors (b = -0.296 to -0.453, P < 0.001). CONCLUSION: @entity148 , @entity308 , and @entity458 are highly frequent in @entity31 @entity1 of our society and are strongly associated with disease activity. @entity308 and @entity458 are important predictors of poor QOL in these @entity1 . Further prospective studies, as well as clinical trials, are warranted in this regard.
