Abstract
In 2004 the UWHC Pulmonary Care Center initiated an adult support group -- setting forth clear infection control standards. Two health professionals, a nurse and social worker, provide structure for the group. The group continues to meet on a regular basis and provides positive modeling for living with cystic fibrosis.
Description
One of the realities of a life-threatening illness can be that of social isolation and separation from others who share the same disease. This DVD gives healthcare staff, patients and families a rare glimpse of couples with Cystic Fibrosis (CF) interacting at a CF Care Center-sponsored couples support group.
