Cystic Fibrosis

Brief summary

Currently the management of cystic fibrosis (CF) patients is mainly based on symptomatic treatments. The arrival of children in day hospital, every 2 to 3 months, is for many of them and those around them, stressful, rarely expressed, but noticeable by the care team. In line with the recommendations of the High Authority of Health, the multidisciplinary team of Resources and Skills Centre for Cystic Fibrosis (CRCM) Pediatric of Nantes University Hospital offers a therapeutic education program tailored to the needs of children with cystic fibrosis and their families . The aim is to support children and parents in the acquisition of self-care skills (knowledge and skills) and coping skills, such as managing stress and emotions . Our goal is to demonstrate that art therapy, mobilizing coping skills of the child, facilitates its expressive capabilities and reduces anxiety.

Interventions

OTHERNon interventional Study

Parents and children will be informed at the inclusion visit (V0) that is a normal consultation under the care of the child. The children included will be followed for 18 months with a maximum of 6 months without meeting art therapy sessions and 12 months with art therapy. The art therapy sessions will be scheduled during the usual consultations conducted as part of the care of children. At each visit, clinical, paraclinical and external factors of anxiety will be collected and anxiety of parents and children will be measured using specific questionnaires.
