Background: Coping strategies play a crucial role in managing inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), influencing both health-related quality of life (HRQoL) and psychological well-being. This study systematically reviews the available literature to analyze coping mechanisms in IBD populations and their impact. Methods: Relevant English-language studies published until 2023 were identified through a comprehensive search of PubMed, EMBASE, EBSCOhost, and Cochrane Library. After applying inclusion and exclusion criteria, 57 articles underwent full analysis. Results: The findings highlight the diversity of coping strategies used by individuals with IBD and emphasize the need for a nuanced approach considering factors like disease severity, duration, and individual characteristics. This review underlines the influence of coping mechanisms on QoL and indicates their potential to aid IBD management and rehabilitation. Conclusions: This study underscores the value of investigating coping strategies to promote better outcomes for individuals with IBD. Future research should explore personalized interventions that address the heterogeneity of the IBD population.
