This trial is testing whether a 6-week online positive psychology program can help people with Crohn's disease manage stress, build emotional resilience, and improve their overall well-being. Crohn's disease is a chronic condition that affects the digestive system and can cause significant emotional and mental health challenges. This study explores whether structured psychological support delivered online through group sessions and discussions can make a real difference in how patients cope with their disease.
People living with Crohn's disease often struggle with anxiety and depression because of the chronic, unpredictable nature of their condition. Negative emotions can actually make symptoms worse and trigger flare-ups, creating a difficult cycle. This trial exists to see if teaching patients positive psychology skills—through online sessions—can break that cycle and help them feel better mentally while managing their disease more effectively.

If you join the intervention group, you'll attend one online session per week for 6 weeks, where a trained facilitator will lead discussions about positive psychology and coping strategies with other Crohn's disease patients. You'll be added to a WeChat group for support and communication. A researcher will collect information about your mental health and quality of life before the program starts, at weeks 3 and 6, and again three months after the program ends. The comparison group will receive standard medical care and health education from their doctors and nurses, without the psychological intervention program.
