Understanding the informational needs of patients with IPF and their caregivers : ‘you get diagnosed, and you ask this question right away, what does this mean?’

BACKGROUND: Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (IPF) is a progressive, incurable lung disease whose intrusive symptoms rob patients of their quality of life.

Knowledgeable and well-informed patients and caregivers are best suited to deal with life-altering conditions like IPF.
