Abstract
The effective management of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is enhanced by a therapeutic relationship between healthcare providers and the patient. This survey focused on addressing the symptoms and impact of IBS in women, as well as physician perceptions regarding IBS. A national survey was undertaken to 1) describe the attitudes, knowledge, treatment strategies, and compliance of women with IBS; 2) compare women with IBS to those without IBS on general health and activity limitations; 3) compare women with IBS to physicians regarding their relative perceptions about the disorder; and 4) determine whether physician gender influenced patient satisfaction.
