Cystic fibrosis in adult life: a study of coping patterns
Abstract:
Despite comparable degrees of physical disability, some patients with cystic fibrosis (CF) cope more successfully than others with the difficulties of competitive adult life. This study found substantial differences between a coping and non-coping sample of adult CF patients. Non-copers had twice as many hospital admissions as copers over a year, even though their ventilatory function was better. The non-coping sample compared unfavourably with the copers in four main spheres of psychosocial functioning--their vocational records; level of family support; awareness of anomalies in sexual function; and knowledge about CF.
