Pulmonary Fibrosis Learning and Self-Management Program (FILIP) for patients in rehab and outpatient care

Is this trial a fit for you?

A plain-English reading of the study's rules. Only the study team can confirm whether you qualify.

What this trial studies

This multicenter, before-after observational cohort study implements a blended digital education and self-management program combining web-based e-learning modules with opportunities to discuss content with clinicians during routine inpatient pulmonary rehabilitation or outpatient ILD visits. A feasibility cohort receiving the program is compared to a historical control cohort treated before implementation, and an embedded feasibility sub-study examines recruitment, retention, and data collection processes. Outcomes include measures of acceptability, usability, and selected health-related outcomes collected before and after program use. The study focuses on adults with fibrotic interstitial lung disease treated at participating centers in Bern, Switzerland.
