Research Study
21/Feb/2006
Are you 18 years of age and over and have CF?
If so, you are invited to complete an internet-based questionnaire designed specifically for adults with CF. Participation is anonymous with no individual identification being requested. Only group results will be reported and your confidentiality is assured.Interested? Please read on.
Maureen Pianta, a Doctoral student in Counselling Psychology is conducting a study with adults who have CF on the types of inner resources they use and which they perceive to impact on their psychological well-being and life satisfaction. The study is under the supervision of Dr Bruce Findlay in the Department of Psychology at Swinburne University of Technology, Victoria, Australia.
The views of adults with CF themselves are of particular interest in this study. Your participation may give you an opportunity to reflect on the various aspects of your life and express your own personal views about the particular resources and emotional supports upon which you rely for psychological well-being and life satisfaction.
Not only will the overall results add to the scientifically based evidence for future support of adults with CF, in particular, the conclusions reached as a result of this study may be useful in providing increased understandings for counsellors who provide services to adults with CF.
Here is your opportunity to have your say.
The questionnaire will take approximately 30-40 minutes of your time and is comprised of mostly multiple-choice questions. The questionnaire can be accessed at the following Swinburne research website address:
