Cystic fibrosis mental health and wellness questionnaire – factors and properties of a comprehensive CF-specific self-report measure
Overview
This paper introduces the CF Mental Health and Wellness Questionnaire (CFMHWQ), a 25-item self-report measure designed to assess mental health burden specific to cystic fibrosis, addressing limitations in existing generic tools. The study validates the instrument through principal component analysis on data from 123 individuals, identifying five factors related to role concerns, symptom burden, social impairment, compliance, and coping. It reports correlations between these factors and measures of negative affect and psychological flexibility, noting that older age was associated with better behavioral adherence.
