Self-Related Cognitive Schemas, Negative Self-View, and Perceived Psychosocial Burden in Adults with Celiac Disease: A Cross-Sectional Comparative Study

Background

Self-related cognitive schemas may influence psychological adaptation to chronic illness. However, their role in adults with celiac disease (CD) remains poorly understood. We aimed to assess cognitive schemas and depressive symptoms in adults with CD compared with healthy controls, and to examine their associations with perceived disease burden.
