ACT with CF: A telehealth and in-person feasibility study to address anxiety and depressive symptoms among people with cystic fibrosis.

Background: Anxiety and depressive symptoms are common among individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) and are associated with decreased lung function [3], quality of life [4], and treatment adherence [2]. However, CF-specific targeted psychotherapeutic interventions are lacking. This study examined whether Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) [7], delivered via telehealth, would address this need and improve clinical symptoms.
