A patient-centred approach was used to explore the social, psychological and physical impacts of IPF. Semi-structured interviews were conducted by an experienced academic.

The key message on &#x2018;coping&#x2019; in these patients was that acceptance of their condition led to a sense of optimism.

Family members should receive education about IPF so that they can support such changes. Patients should be encouraged to join a support group and to participate in physical activity (again preferably group-based). This study offers novel findings that will help inform much-needed changes in the practice of supporting IPF patients to cope with their diagnosis and disease progression.</abstract><type>Journal Article</type><journal>PLOS ONE</journal><volume>13</volume><journalNumber>5</journalNumber><paginationStart>e0197660</paginationStart><publisher>Public Library of Science (PLoS)</publisher><issnElectronic>1932-6203</issnElectronic><keywords/><publishedDay>31</publishedDay><publishedMonth>12</publishedMonth><publishedYear>2018</publishedYear><publishedDate>2018-12-31</publishedDate><doi>10.1371/journal.pone.0197660</doi><url/><notes>Data from this study have been uploaded to the Zenodo repository and are available at the following address: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo.1218276</notes><college>COLLEGE NANME</college><department>Science and Engineering - Faculty</department><CollegeCode>COLLEGE CODE</CollegeCode><DepartmentCode>FGSEN</DepartmentCode><institution>Swansea University</institution><apcterm/><lastEdited>2020-10-22T18:12:15.6701350</lastEdited><Created>2018-05-09T11:06:44.2520922</Created><path><level id="1">Faculty of Science and Engineering</level><level id="2">School of Engineering and Applied Sciences - Uncategorised</level></path><authors><author><firstname>Sameera</firstname><surname>Senanayake</surname><order>1</order></author><author><firstname>Kim</firstname><surname>Harrison</surname><order>2</order></author><author><firstname>Michael</firstname><surname>Lewis</surname><order>3</order></author><author><firstname>Melitta</firstname><surname>McNarry</surname><orcid>0000-0003-0813-7477</orcid><order>4</order></author><author><firstname>Joanne</firstname><surname>Hudson</surname><orcid>0000-0003-4732-8356</orcid><order>5</order></author></authors><documents><document><filename>0040046-06082018103822.pdf</filename><originalFilename>Senanayake-2018-Patients-experiences-of-coping-with.pdf</originalFilename><uploaded>2018-08-06T10:38:22.9670000</uploaded><type>Output</type><contentLength>2373201</contentLength><contentType>application/pdf</contentType><version>Version of Record</version><cronfaStatus>true</cronfaStatus><embargoDate>2018-08-06T00:00:00.0000000</embargoDate><copyrightCorrect>true</copyrightCorrect><language>eng</language></document></documents><OutputDurs/></rfc1807>
