Cynical Distrust, Alexithymia, and Quality of Sleep among Patients with Inflammatory Bowel Diseases: A Descriptive Correlational Study
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases as ulcerative colitis and Crohn's disease negatively affects many aspects of the patient's life, including psychological patterns, emotional reactions, and sleep quality. The study was aimed to: determine the relationship between cynical distrust, alexithymia, and quality of sleep among patients with inflammatory bowel diseases. Design: This study employed a descriptive correlational design. Setting: It was held at Alexandria's main University hospital's Gastrointestinal Tract (GIT) department. A purposive sample of 100 patients with the diagnosis of IBD (50 patient with Crohn's Disease & 50 patient with ulcerative colitis. Methods: Data were collected using four different tools: Socio-demographic & Clinical data structured interview schedule, Cynical Distrust Scale, Toronto Alexithymia Scale and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index. Results: The current study finding revealed that 86.4% of patients with Crohn's disease, and 87.5% of patients with ulcerative colitis who had high cynical distrust demonstrated alexithymia. In addition, 95.5% of patients with Crohn's disease, and 87.5% of patients with ulcerative colitis who had high cynical distrust display poor sleep quality. Conclusion: The current study established a statistically significant positive correlation between cynical distrust, alexithymia, and poor sleep quality among patients with inflammatory bowel disorders. Recommendation: Counseling for adequate sleep and emotional expressiveness can positively impact the phase of the disease. Additionally, assessing and intervening sleep and emotional disruptions in patients with inflammatory bowel diseases can aid in optimizing medicinal care and maintaining illness remission, as well as potentially modify disease prognosis.

How this classification was reachedexpand
Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
