The role of social support in the association between quality of life and demoralization in patients with inflammatory bowel disease: a cross-sectional study
Social support plays a significant partial mediating role in the relationship between quality of life and demoralization in IBD patients. These cross-sectional findings suggest that interventions aimed at enhancing social support may help mitigate demoralization and improve quality of life, though longitudinal or experimental studies are needed to confirm causal pathways.
