Abstract

The use of social media is increasing among the population and Facebook is one of the main social networks accessed in Brazil. Objectives: a. To evaluate the social factors associated with Facebook use and to compare the use of Facebook by patients to the control group; B. Translation and cultural adaptation of the questionnaire "Psycho-Social Aspects of Facebook Use" (PSAFU). Methodology: A cross-sectional study will be carried out with the application of questionnaires to outpatients and to the control group, which will be composed of healthy people. CD will be classified according to the Montreal Classification and disease activity, through the Crohn's Disease Activity Index (CDAI). The UC will be classified according to the extent of the disease and the activity, according to the Mayo Score. Quality of life will be assessed through the Inflammatory Bowel Disease Questionnaire (IBDQ) and the SF-36 questionnaire. The presence of anxiety and depressive symptoms will be evaluated by the Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
