What this trial studies

This observational study invites patients with fibrotic interstitial lung disease (ILD) who are undergoing inpatient rehabilitation or outpatient pulmonary care to participate. Participants will complete questionnaires regarding their quality of life and symptoms at the beginning and end of their rehabilitation or after their second outpatient consultation. The study aims to evaluate changes in self-efficacy and quality of life over time, while also establishing a control cohort for a future feasibility study focused on educational and self-management interventions. Clinical data from routine care and the IIP registry will also be utilized.
