Official title

Effectiveness of a Motivational Interviewing Program on the Self-Care Levels of Patients With Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis

Overview

A specific tool developed to measure self-care in patients with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF) is the SC-IPFI, which is an adaptation of an already validated instrument for COPD. It is important to assess how motivational interviewing can influence the self-care behaviors of these patients, better evaluate their level of disease management, prevent the risk of exacerbations, and guide educational interventions. The primary objective of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of a motivational interviewing program delivered remotely through video calls and digital platforms in improving the levels of self-care maintenance, self-care monitoring, and self-care management in patients with IPF. The study will also assess the effectiveness of the remotely delivered motivational interviewing program on self-efficacy, anxiety, disease-specific quality of life, therapy adherence, cough, dyspnea, exacerbations, and hospital admissions.
