Educational Program Through Video Conference for Inhaled Therapies in Cystic Fibrosis Patients

Evaluation of the Efficacy of an Educational Program Through Video Conference

Educational programs are essential for cystic fibrosis patients who need to take several different drugs every day. Compliance is often klow in these patients, and clinicals and paramedics try to increase it, through educational programs. As for inhaled therapies, the CF center of Montpellier uses a video conference tool to educate patients. The program may involve either the physiotherapist or the doctor or both. Through the present study, the investigators would like to evaluate the current practice at the CF center of Montpellier and verify if patients feel that the physiotherapist could handle the program on his own, without the support of a physician.
