Outline of Final Research Achievements

In the present study, we report our newly developed Japanese version of the VSI (VSI-J) measuring gastrointestinal symptoms specific anxiety (GSA) and test its validity and reliability. As a result, the scale was found to be reliable and valid in a manner consistent with the original VSI. Further, VSI-J was a significant predictor of QOL on the IBSB-QOL. These results suggested that VSI-J may now be used to better assess the impact of interventions targeting the reduction of GSA in Japanese patients with IBS.
