About this trial
This randomized controlled trial aims to evaluate the effect of nurse-led telehealth monitoring on medication adherence, self-efficacy, and quality of life in individuals with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). The study will be conducted at the IBD Outpatient Clinic of Istanbul University-Cerrahpaşa, Cerrahpaşa Medical Faculty. Participants will be randomly assigned to either an intervention group receiving a 3-month structured telehealth program (including education, counseling, phone calls, and reminders) or a control group receiving only standard care and an educational booklet. Outcomes will be assessed at baseline and after 12 weeks.
