Brief summary
Patients with short bowel syndrome have an impact on their quality of life because they need temporary or permanent parenteral nutritional support. The quality of life of these patients has been the subject of several studies and assessment tools exist, such as the Short Bowel Syndrome Quality of Life (SBS QoL). This tool may seem complex and tedious to use in everyday practice. However, it is important to regularly assess the quality of life of these patients. This is why the investigators are proposing to create a new tool for more rapid assessment of the quality of life of patients with short bowel syndrome.
