Chinese Ulcerative Colitis Patient Self-Management Profiles and Associated Factors

Man Yang's 2026 figshare dataset contains a cross-sectional study of 415 Chinese patients with ulcerative colitis. The data includes validated survey measures on self-management, resilience, depression, family communication, and social support, used to identify three latent behavioral profiles. The study was conducted at a single center, and the dataset is a 20.5 KB supplementary file.

Use Cases

• Identify latent patient subgroups based on self-management behavior patterns described in the study.
• Model associations between psychosocial factors (e.g., social support, depression) and patient self-management profiles.
• Analyze the distribution of patient characteristics (e.g., rural residence, income, clinical remission) across different self-management typologies.

Strengths

• Dataset is based on a study of 415 patients, providing a defined sample size.
• Uses multiple validated instruments (e.g., IBD Self-management Scale, CD-RISC-10, PHQ-9) for measurement.
• Results identify three distinct patient profiles with specific membership percentages (Low-Monitoring: 53.97%, Emotion-Adaptive: 37.11%, High-Engagement: 8.92%).

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• The single-center design and predominantly hospitalized cohort may limit generalizability, as noted in the description.
