Description
Summary:Cystic fibrosis and its treatment can have substantial functional and emotional impacts on patients and their families. This feasibility study assessed a new cystic fibrosis treatment, Metacognitive Intervention of Narrative Imagery, integrating narrative and meta-cognitive therapies with mental imagery. A total of 13 patients, aged 10–17 years, received three 1-hour sessions and were assessed on emotional functioning, anxiety, and depression at baseline and 4 and 8 weeks post-baseline. Participants had significant improvements in anxiety, and changes in emotional functioning and anxiety had a medium effect size. Participants and parents rated Metacognitive Intervention of Narrative Imagery highly on usability and favourability. Further clinical trials are indicated.
