Self Care and Interstitial Lung Disease/Pulmonary Fibrosis

Shane Vandenameele, Interstitial Lung Disease Nurse Clinician from the Saskatchewan Health Authority, talks about self-care and interstitial lung disease/pulmonary fibrosis. The process of self-care involves three core elements: self-care maintenance, monitoring, and management. These elements are interrelated and thought to be mastered in sequence. Our presenter gives a broad overview of medication adherence, exercise, monitoring symptoms and signs of infection, and how to respond to any changes.
