Aim: The purpose of the research is to compare the psychological health of individuals with IBS-C and IBS-D to that of healthy individuals. It also examines any potential gender differences among the IBS subtypes. Method: An analytical and comparative study was conducted. A random sample of thirty patients each with IBS-C and IBS-D and thirty healthy controls comprised the statistical population, which included all IBS patients who visited JLNM in Srinagar, Kashmir. The research instrument used was Ryff's psychological well-being. The t-test of significance was utilized throughout to assess the acquired data. Significant thresholds were set at 0.05 for all one-tailed tests. Result: According to the study, the psychological well-being of those with irritable bowel syndrome with diarrhea (IBS-D) and Irritable bowel syndrome with constipation (IBS-C) was considerably lower than that of healthy controls. Furthermore, it was shown that IBS-D patients had worse psychological well-being than IBS-C patients. However, significant variations are discovered on a few subscales, including Environmental Mastery, Personal Growth, Autonomy, and Purpose in Life of PWB. Conclusion: In conclusion, our comparative analysis underscores the intricate interplay between Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) subtypes and psychological well-being.
