[Cystic fibrosis, support and end of life of patients].

Cystic fibrosis is a chronic disease detected at birth that requires multidisciplinary follow-up throughout life. Two singular stories guide us in the reflection on end-of-life care. Firstly, it is a painful stage when it comes to giving up lung transplantation.

The effects of cystic fibrosis on couples: marital satisfaction, emotions, and coping strategies.

An earlier diagnosis and better overall multidisciplinary care enable people suffering from Cystic Fibrosis (CF) to have a life expectancy of 40. Consequently, new populations and questions about the development of the life of couples have arisen. This study by questionnaires takes a first look at marital adjustment, anxiety, depression, and emotion focused, social support focused, and problem focused coping strategies in 16 CF patients and their partners.
