Pulmonary function testing (PFT) anxiety is a longstanding and widespread concern among people with cystic fibrosis (PwCF) and their families or caregivers. The anticipation and process of undergoing PFTs can trigger emotional and physiological stress, potentially impacting test outcomes and overall health care experiences. This session aims to identify and share effective anxiety-reducing techniques that can be adopted by clinic staff to create a more supportive environment for PwCF.
