Can rehabilitation boost confidence in fibrotic lung disease?
NCT ID NCT06027333
First seen Sep 08, 2026 · Last updated Sep 09, 2026 · Updated 1 time
Summary
This observational study follows patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) to see how their self-efficacy and quality of life change over time. Participants either undergo inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation or receive regular outpatient care. Researchers use questionnaires at baseline and follow-up to measure changes. The findings may help design a future educational and self-management program.
