Discomfort is a common symptom before, during and after tests and procedures for people living with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The authors used a proven method to identify the attributes, antecedents and consequences of discomfort. The findings highlight the unique characteristics of procedural discomfort in IBD.

Why is it important?
This is the first concept analysis of discomfort around procedures and tests in IBD. It is important to learn more about less explored symptoms in order to improve the quality of life of those living with chronic illnesses.
Perspectives
This publication opens the door for further research in areas less explored in IBD. We hope to better the lives of those living with IBD, by talking about what makes them feel uncomfortable. .
