[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]Hi everyone, [/font]
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]I am conducting a study and am looking for both male and female participants who are at least 18 years of age. [/font]
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]The project is concerned with exploring the mechanisms that impact the psychological well-being and quality of life of individuals with Inflammatory Bowel Disease. Specifically, whether rumination and psychological flexibility influence depression, anxiety and quality of life outcomes. [/font]
Rumination refers to repetitive thoughts about personal problems (such as suffering from a chronic illness), and has been shown to be associated with the onset and maintenance of depression and anxiety. [font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"]Psychological flexibility refers to the ability to adapt to various situations and accept ourselves as we are, not as we think we should be. Being more psychologically flexible can help people cope with stress and do more of what it is they value.[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"]Participation is voluntary and you may withdraw from the study at any time. It is expected that the survey will take approximately 45 minutes of your time. [/font]
If you are interested in participating the survey is available on the following link[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]: [/font][font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;"]http://opinio.online...du.au/s?s=15331[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"]Thank you for your interest,[/font]
[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"]Kindest regards,[/font]

[font="arial, helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;"]This research is still in progress for 2016 if anyone is interested in participating.[/font]
