Study Participants Wanted – IPF and Mental Health

There is a new study by the UCD School of Psychology on the mental health and well-being of people living with Idiopathic Pulmonary Fibrosis (IPF). The study is headed by Dr. Sonya Deschênes, Assistant Professor, Dr. Elizabeth O’Brien, Clinical Psychologist, and Alisa Oriol, MSc., UCD School of Psychology. Patients over the age of 18 with English fluency who have been diagnosed with IPF for longer than six months are invited to participate.

Currently, there is little research in Ireland on the psychological wellbeing of people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF). The study aims to explore the current state of mental health and wellbeing in people with IPF. It also wants to know how people with IPF in Ireland are supported by others, and what kind of social supports they need.
