Abstract

To maximize health, individuals with cystic fibrosis (CF) follow a complex, burdensome daily care regimen. Managing CF is associated with a range of significant biopsychosocial challenges and places individuals with CF, and their caregivers, at greater risk for developing anxiety and depression. To promote wellness and address the potential barriers that affect management of this complex chronic illness, many individuals would benefit from treatment from a behavioral health provider. Social workers within multidisciplinary CF care teams are well positioned to respond to this need, and an expanding number of social workers serving as behavioral health providers in the community will be sought as a resource to provide treatment to this population. This article serves as a primer for social workers to maximize knowledge of the psychosocial and potential behavioral health needs of individuals with CF across the life span. To best support individuals with CF, authors describe the disease-specific manifestations and outline the numerous potential clinical targets for social work to promote wellness. The article concludes by highlighting the importance of communication with the medical team and considerations for effective collaborative care.

精神卫生保健协调员和提供者介绍的囊性纤维化：合作促进健康。

摘要

为了最大程度地提高健康水平，患有囊性纤维化（CF）的患者应遵循复杂而繁重的日常护理方案。管理CF与一系列重大的生物心理社会挑战相关联，使CF的患者及其护理人员更容易患上焦虑症和抑郁症。为了促进健康并解决影响这种复杂慢性疾病管理的潜在障碍，许多人将从行为健康提供者的治疗中受益。多学科CF护理团队中的社会工作者处于很好的位置，可以满足这一需求，并且将寻求在社区中充当行为健康提供者的社会工作者人数不断增加，作为为该人群提供治疗的资源。本文为社会工作者提供了入门知识，以使他们在整个生命周期内最大限度地了解CF患者的社会心理和潜在的行为健康需求。为了最好地支持CF患者，作者描述了疾病的具体表现，并概述了社会工作中促进健康的众多潜在临床目标。文章最后总结了与医疗团队进行沟通的重要性以及进行有效协作护理的注意事项。
