Abstract

Background: Cystic fibrosis (CF) is a severe hereditary disease that affects multiple organ systems. Among these, the musculoskeletal system is an under-explored area. This interview study aimed to explore experiences of musculoskeletal symptoms and of manual therapies as complementary care in this context.

Methods: Semi-structured interviews were used to collect data from ten respondents. The data were subsequently analyzed through content analysis with an inductive approach in accordance with the method of Elo and Kyngäs.

Results: The analysis resulted in three main categories; 1) Living with CF involves musculoskeletal health challenges, 2) Manual therapies impact daily life for people with CF, and 3) People with CF aspire for broader and more collaborative respiratory care.

Conclusion: The respondents described musculoskeletal symptoms in and around the thoracic cage. They experienced symptom relief and increased body awareness following manual therapy interventions (MTI) and recommended that these methods be offered as complementary care to enhance quality of life.

肺之外：囊性纤维化患者的肌肉骨骼症状和手工治疗经历-一项定性访谈研究。

背景：囊性纤维化（CF）是一种影响多器官系统的严重遗传性疾病。其中，肌肉骨骼系统是一个尚未开发的领域。本访谈研究旨在探讨肌肉骨骼症状的经验和手工治疗作为补充护理在这种情况下。方法：采用半结构化访谈法对10名被调查者进行数据收集。随后，根据Elo和Kyngäs的方法，采用归纳法对数据进行内容分析。结果：分析得出三个主要类别；1) CF患者涉及肌肉骨骼健康挑战，2)手工疗法影响CF患者的日常生活，3)CF患者渴望更广泛、更协作的呼吸护理。结论：应答者描述了胸廓内和胸廓周围的肌肉骨骼症状。在手工治疗干预（MTI）后，他们经历了症状缓解和身体意识增强，并建议将这些方法作为补充护理提供，以提高生活质量。
