The Effect of Telerehabilitation on Quality of Life, Anxiety and Depression Levels in Children With Cystic Fibrosis and Their Caregivers

Patients with cystic fibrosis aged 6-13 will be recruited and randomized into two groups: one will receive telerehabilitation sessions including postural, breathing and high-intensity interval training exercises and one will be subject to routine follow up. Exercise program will be applied three days a week for three months. Children will be assessed by pulmonary function tests, cystic fibrosis quality of life questionnaire, six minute walking test and anxiety and depression scale in children, while caregivers will be assessed by Beck depression scale and situational anxiety inventory.
