Abstract

Background: The older adult age group makes up one of the fastest-growing groups of individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). It is important to hear the perspectives of older adults living with IBD about care experiences and managing their illness. The purpose of this patient-oriented study was to identify and prioritize patient-centred strategies that have the potential to enhance IBD-related care for older adults in Saskatchewan.

Methods: The interprofessional research team, consisting of older adult individuals living with IBD, gastroenterology providers, and researchers specializing in IBD or older adult education used a modified Delphi approach to identify and prioritize strategies that may enhance IBD-related care for older adults. Thirty-one older adults with IBD participated in ranking, revising, and prioritizing statements related to their chronic illness care. Nine statements were developed that highlighted strategies for older adult IBD care.

Results: Through the consensus process, 6 statements were retained. Co-creating a treatment plan with the IBD provider was ranked as the top priority statement for older adults with IBD.

Conclusion: Facilitating collaborative relationships and understanding individual priorities for IBD-related care for older adults has the potential to enhance positive health outcomes and quality of life for these individuals.
