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. Patients with IPF rely on their caregivers for support and assistance in amounts that vary according to patients' individual circumstances and disease severity. Knowledgeable and well-informed patients and caregivers are best suited to deal with life-altering conditions like IPF.
