Experimental Treatment

Group I: iCF-PWR InterventionExperimental Treatment1 Intervention

Internet-delivered Cystic Fibrosis Mental Health Prevention, Wellness, and Resource (iCF-PWR) program is comprised of five text/voice-delivered, animated, interactive modules. The pathways are comprised of the same modules that take approximately 15 to 20 minutes to complete. Modules are comprised of web pages and/or screens with numerous illustrations and interactive components. Written module content will be presented verbally as well as in text format. The program modules include: (1) What is CF? (i.e., physiological explanation of CF, prevalence rate); (2) How does my sibling with CF stay healthy? (i.e., review of medication, nutrition, physiotherapy treatment, and why treatment is important); (3) How does CF affect me?; (4) Mental health awareness (i.e., introduction to cognitive behaviour model of emotions-thoughts, feelings, bodily sensations, and behaviours); and (5) Strategies (i.e., ways to challenge unhelpful thoughts, talking about emotions, relaxation).
