Summary

This study looked at what cystic fibrosis (CF) patients and their spouses think and feel about becoming parents. Researchers held small group discussions and one-on-one interviews led by a psychologist to gather their views. The goal was to identify common themes and needs, so better support programs can be created for CF patients considering parenthood.
