This study by Dancey et al. (2002) explores the impact of illness intrusiveness on various life domains in individuals with Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS). It delves into stigma associated with IBS and examines how sex differences influence perceptions. The research connects concepts of perceived versus received stigma, highlighting issues of concealment and visibility of symptoms. Through lenses of educational attainment, income levels, and psychological symptomology, the study addresses coping strategies like secrecy and disengagement, aiming to foster a better understanding of the societal impacts on IBS patients.
