Abstract
Cystic Fibrosis (CF) is a progressive condition resulting in reduced lung function and strongly associated with elevated anxiety and depression symptoms. Self-concept refers to an individual's overarching sense of identity, a positive level of which is widely associated with reduced anxiety and depression. There is a significant lack of self-concept research within CF. This study explores the association between self-concept and anxiety and depression in adults with CF. 64 adults living with CF in Western Australia completed validated online questionnaires (Generalised Anxiety Disorder-7, Patient Health Questionnaire-9, Tennessee Self-Concept Questionnaire 2: Short-Form) and consented to the collection of medical data. Descriptive, t-test, correlation and multiple regression analysis were undertaken. Higher levels of self-concept were associated with lower levels of anxiety and depression symptoms. Lower self-concept levels were a significant predictor of increased anxiety and depression symptoms after accounting for physical health status. Mean self-concept scores for those who required mental health intervention were significantly lower compared to those that did not. This study identifies a significant relationship between self-concept and anxiety and depression in adults with CF. Further research is required to establish causation and test the feasibility of self-concept interventions in reducing anxiety and depression symptoms.

Harrigan M, Jessup M, Bennett K, Mulrennan S. Me, myself, and I: A systematic review of cystic fibrosis and self-concept. Pediatr Pulmonol 2024; 59:1175-1195. [PMID: 38376009 DOI: 10.1002/ppul.26916] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Submit a Manuscript] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 10/08/2023] [Revised: 01/03/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 02/21/2024]
Abstract
Given extensive pertinent disease factors and evolving medical treatments, this systematic review explores qualitative and quantitative cystic fibrosis (CF) research surrounding self-concept, an overarching perception of self. Research methodologies, self-concept dimensions, prominent self-concept findings and clinical recommendations are identified. Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Review and Meta-analyses guidelines were applied. PubMed, Scopus, Medline, Psycinfo, CINAHL (ebsco), and CENTRAL Cochrane electronic databases were searched from 2012 to 2022. Methodological quality was assessed using the critical appraisal skills program. Data-based convergent synthesis was applied to analyze and report on qualitative and quantitative studies in parallel. Thirty-seven publications met the inclusion criteria, most of which employed a cross-sectional, single-center design within an adolescent and adult population. Self-efficacy, self-esteem, and self-identity studies were dimensions of self-concept identified, with studies relating to self-efficacy surrounding physical health management most prevalent. All three dimensions were positively associated with improved treatment adherence and psychosocial health. Efficacy tested intervention programs to enhance self-concept are limited; however, an extensive range of clinical recommendations are offered, highlighting the importance of clinician self-concept awareness, quality clinician-patient conversations and online CF peer-support. Self-concept is an important mechanism to optimize patient outcomes. Further CF self-concept research is required, particularly multicenter, longitudinal, and interventional studies. Early childhood, post lung transplant and the older adult CF population in particular, lack research attention. Given the potential impact of rapidly evolving CF transmembrane conductance regulator modulator drugs on many aspects of self, future self-concept research beyond the dimension of self-efficacy may be beneficial.

Standards for the care of people with cystic fibrosis (CF); recognising and addressing CF health issues. J Cyst Fibros 2024; 23:187-202. [PMID: 38233247 DOI: 10.1016/j.jcf.2024.01.005] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/06/2023] [Revised: 01/02/2024] [Accepted: 01/09/2024] [Indexed: 01/19/2024]
Abstract
This is the third in a series of four papers updating the European Cystic Fibrosis Society (ECFS) standards for the care of people with CF. This paper focuses on recognising and addressing CF health issues. The guidance was produced with wide stakeholder engagement, including people from the CF community, using an evidence-based framework. Authors contributed sections, and summary statements which were reviewed by a Delphi consultation. Monitoring and treating airway infection, inflammation and pulmonary exacerbations remains important, despite the widespread availability of CFTR modulators and their accompanying health improvements. Extrapulmonary CF-specific health issues persist, such as diabetes, liver disease, bone disease, stones and other renal issues, and intestinal obstruction. These health issues require multidisciplinary care with input from the relevant specialists. Cancer is more common in people with CF compared to the general population, and requires regular screening. The CF life journey requires mental and emotional adaptation to psychosocial and physical challenges, with support from the CF team and the CF psychologist. This is particularly important when life gets challenging, with disease progression requiring increased treatments, breathing support and potentially transplantation. Planning for end of life remains a necessary aspect of care and should be discussed openly, honestly, with sensitivity and compassion for the person with CF and their family. CF teams should proactively recognise and address CF-specific health issues, and support mental and emotional wellbeing while accompanying people with CF and their families on their life journey.

Abstract
BACKGROUND As the population of people with cystic fibrosis (pwCF) continues to age, attention is shifting towards addressing the unique challenges teenagers and adults face, including substance use. Changing attitudes and legality regarding marijuana and cannabidiol (CBD) may influence their use among pwCF, but data on the rate of use, reasons for use, and administration methods are lacking. OBJECTIVE Investigate marijuana, CBD, e-cigarette, and cigarette usage among pwCF and explore differences in demographics, disease severity, and cystic fibrosis transmembrane receptor (CFTR) modulator use between recent users and nonusers. METHODS This cross-sectional study used a one-time electronic survey to assess marijuana, CBD, e-cigarette, and cigarette use in pwCF aged >13 years. Demographic and clinical characteristics were compared between recent users and nonusers. The association between recent substance use and CFTR modulator use was analyzed using logistic regressions. RESULTS Among 226 participants, 29% used marijuana, 22% used CBD, 27% used e-cigarettes, and 22% used cigarettes in the last 12 months. Users of all substances were more likely to be college-educated or aged 29-39 years than nonusers. E-cigarette users were 2.9 times more likely to use CFTR modulators (95% confidence interval [95% CI]: 0.98-11.00, p = .08) and marijuana users were 2.5 times more likely to use CFTR modulators compared to nonusers, adjusted for confounders. CBD, e-cigarettes, and cigarettes users were more likely to have an abnormal mental health screen compared to nonusers. A high proportion of never-users of marijuana and CBD expressed interest in using. CONCLUSION Substance use is more prevalent among pwCF than previously reported and needs to be addressed by healthcare providers.

Current and Future Therapeutic Approaches of Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency in Children with Cystic Fibrosis in the Era of Personalized Medicine. Pharmaceutics 2023; 15:pharmaceutics15010162. [PMID: 36678791 PMCID: PMC9862205 DOI: 10.3390/pharmaceutics15010162] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/15/2022] [Revised: 12/17/2022] [Accepted: 12/28/2022] [Indexed: 01/05/2023] Open
Abstract
This review presents current updates of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy in children with cystic fibrosis based on literature published in the last decade and some special considerations regarding pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy in the era of new therapies, such as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapies. Few articles evaluate the efficacy of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy in the pediatric population, and most studies also included children and adults with cystic fibrosis. Approximately 85% of cystic fibrosis patients have exocrine pancreatic insufficiency and need pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy. Fecal elastase is the most commonly used diagnostic test for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, although this value can fluctuate over time. While it is used as a diagnostic test, it cannot be used for monitoring the effectiveness of pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy and for adjusting doses. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy, the actual treatment for exocrine pancreatic insufficiency, is essential in children with cystic fibrosis to prevent malabsorption and malnutrition and needs to be urgently initiated. This therapy presents many considerations for physicians, patients, and their families, including types and timing of administration, dose monitoring, and therapy failures. Based on clinical trials, pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy is considered effective and well-tolerated in children with cystic fibrosis. An important key point in cystic fibrosis treatment is the recent hypothesis that cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulators could improve pancreatic function, further studies being essential. Pancreatic enzyme replacement therapy is addressed a complication of the disease (exocrine pancreatic insufficiency), while modulators target the defective cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator protein. Exocrine pancreatic insufficiency in cystic fibrosis remains an active area of research in this era of cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator modulator therapies. This new therapy could represent an example of personalized medicine in cystic fibrosis patients, with each class of modulators being addressed to patients with specific genetic mutations.
