Brief summary

Chronic inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD; including Crohn's disease and ulcerative colitis) significantly impact patients' quality of life. Among non-pharmacological therapies, adapted physical activity (APA) has demonstrated its beneficial impact, particularly on fatigue, anxiety, digestive symptoms, and the overall quality of life of patients with IBD. The real-world implementation of APA remains insufficient, primarily due to limited patient adherence to this prescription. Patient therapeutic education (PTE) represents a potentially powerful lever for promoting engagement in APA by addressing barriers related to a lack of awareness (fear of symptom worsening) and lack of motivation. No dedicated study has specifically evaluated the effect of targeted PTE sessions on adherence to physical activity in IBD. The objective of the present feasibility study will be to determine whether a single therapeutic education session focused on the digestive and systemic benefits of APA has an impact on the rate of physical activity practice in the medium term among patients with IBD in clinical remission for at least 3 months.

Interventions

DIAGNOSTIC_TESTInflammatory Bowek Disk Questionnaires

Patients will be asked to complete the questionnaires regarding bowel inflammation at enrollment, 6 months later, and 12 months later.

OTHERShort-International Physical Activity Questionnaries

Patients will be asked to complete the physical activity questionnaire 6 months later and 12 months later.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Effectiveness of therapeutic education intervention on physical activity practice12 months after the inclusionMeasure the amount of metabolic equivalent or MET/Week (Metabolic Equivalent Task) at 12 months, based on the short-IPAQ questionnaire assessing physical activities reported by the patient over the last 7 days.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
study the impact on quality of life at 6 months6 months after the inclusionmeasure of quality of life with the IBD disk questionnaires answers at 6 months
Study the impact on quality of life in 12 months12 months after the inclusionmeasure of quality of life with the IBD disk questionnaires answers at 12 months
study the impact on fatigue reported at 6 months6 months after the inclusionMeasure of fatigue reported according to one of the items of the IBD Disk questionnaire at 6 months
study the impact on fatigue reported at 12 months12 months after the inclusionMeasure of fatigue reported according to one of the items of the IBD Disk questionnaire at 12 months
study the correlation between increased overall muscle strength and improved quality of life12 months after the inclusionMeasurement of estimated muscle strength using a hand grip test before and after intervention as part of annual malnutrition screening and response to the quality of life questionnaire
Study of the impact on the evolution of IBD activity at 6 months6 months after the inclusionmeasurement of clinical activity in chronic inflammatory bowel disease at 6 months
Study of the impact on the evolution of IBD activity at 12 months12 months after the inclusionmeasurement of clinical activity in chronic inflammatory bowel disease at 12 months
study the impact on the monitoring of the prescription of adapted physical activity12 months after the inclusionMonitoring of the APA prescription estimated according to the proportion of patients who completed at least 12 APA sessions (i.e. 1 weekly session for 3 months) and the average number of APA sessions completed.
