Earlier research has demonstrated the important role of locus of control (LOC) in facing the challenges brought out by many gastrointestinal system diseases.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Purpose<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The aim of this research is to assess LOC in patients with mild-to-moderate UC as compared to non-UC individuals. This study also explored the impact of various demographic variables: age, gender, education level, type of family, working status, socio-economic status (SES), marital status and region of residence, on LOC among UC patients<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A cross-sectional survey was conducted for a period of two months. The tool used was Multidimensional Health Locus of Control (MHLC). A chi-squared test was used to investigate the LOC among individuals with UC (100 patients) in comparison to a control group of non-UC (100) healthy individuals. The age group was between 30 and 50 years.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      In the UC group, 31% endorsed an internal LOC, while 40% attributed outcomes to chance, and 29% believed in powerful others. A chi-square test indicated a significant association between LOC and UC, \u03c7\n                      <jats:sup>2<\/jats:sup>\n                      (2) = 38.1,\n                      <jats:italic toggle=\"yes\">P<\/jats:italic>\n                      &lt; .001. These findings suggest that individuals with UC are more likely to attribute outcomes to external factors, such as chance or powerful others, rather than their own actions. A positive effect of SES, region and working status on LOC was seen.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>The observed tendency towards external LOC highlights the need for targeted interventions aimed at enhancing patients\u2019 sense of agency and control over their health.
