Background summary
Background: Adults with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) are at increased risk to develop
anxiety and depression.
Recent international guidelines recommend routine screening and treatment for
depression and anxiety in individuals with CF.
There is a need to create psychological interventions for adults with CF
tailored to their needs, stage of life, and goals. Therefore, as a
international collaboration of Vumc and specialistst from the USA, an online
blended-care psychological treatment program has been developed for adults with
CF who are suffering from anxiety and/or depression.
Research question: Is the eHealth CF-CGT program feasible and acceptable and
what improvements can be made?
Study objective
Objective: To investigate the feasibility and acceptability of the online
cognitive behavioral therapy program (eHealth CF-CGT), so that the program can
be tailored to the needs of the patient
Study design
Method: Ten patients with CF from the AMC who report anxiety and / or
depression are invited to participate in the eHealth CF-CBT program and
research. Before the start of the program, during the program and at the end
they fill in questionnaires.
Intervention
As described below, the 8 modules of the online CF-CBT program are
delivered through blended care: face-to-face contact with the psychologist in
combination with online modules. At the intake, after four sessions and at the
end, there will be a face-to-face session.
1) Overview and Introduction to CBT
2) Relaxation Skills
3) Depression in CF: What Helps?
4) Adaptive Thinking Skills, part 1
5) Adaptive Thinking Skills, part 2
6) Taking Charge of My Health
7) Anxiety in CF: What Helps?
8) Maintaining Positive Changes
Study burden and risks
Burden: No risks. It takes time for the patient to complete the questionnaires
and complete the sessions. The patient is also expected three times at the VUmc
for an appointment with the psychologist.
The patient may benefit directly from participating in this study. By following
the eHealth CF-CGT program and going through all sessions, his / her complaints
of anxiety and / or depression can be reduced. In addition, the patient
contributes more information about the functioning of the eHealth CF-CGT
program and we can further optimize eHealth CF-CGT for other patients based on
this feedback.
