AB Abstract: (1) Background: The aim of this study was to explore the role of perceived stress and thehealth locus of control in Crohn’s disease and their influence upon the development of flare-upsof this disease. (2) Methods: Stress and the external locus of control were evaluated in a sample of64 Crohn’s patients (flare-up phase versus latency phase). The perceived stress scale (PSS-14) and themultidimensional health locus of control scale were the measurement instruments used. (3) Results:The results indicate that the patients have high stress levels during a flare-up (26.13; 27.44; 28.79;29.67); high stress levels (28.07; 29.67; 27.44; 28.07) if they have a high external locus of control; andthat the external locus of control and stress levels have a significant influence upon the existence offlare-ups in those patients with low external locus of control levels (χ2 = 11.127; df = 1: p < 0.001).(4) Conclusions: Actions aimed at reducing stress and external locus of control levels are necessary inCrohn’s disease.
