Healthcare professionals highlighted the need for training to recognize and manage distress in young people with inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) and a stoma. The study identified 19 training priorities, including addressing stigma, practicalities of stoma management, initiating conversations about distress, considering cultural beliefs, and techniques for assessing patient distress. These findings will inform the development of a training package for healthcare professionals treating young people with IBD and a stoma.
