Study Overview

Status

Status

Indicates the current recruitment status or the expanded access status.
Completed

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Detailed Description

After individuals were informed about the study, it was administered to individuals who gave written informed consent.This study was carried out on individuals with cystic fibrosis and healthy individuals who meet the eligibility requirements, through online forms.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
fear of covid-19
Time Frame: November- December/2021
COVID-19 Fear Scale: This scale is a one-dimensional instrument consisting of seven items with robust psychometric properties that measure fear of COVID-19. It has a 5-point Likert-type rating system (1: Strongly disagree, 5: Strongly agree). It is reliable and valid in assessing fear of COVID-19 among the general population. Turkish validity and reliability of the scale were ensured.
November- December/2021

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
psychosocial factors
Time Frame: November-December/2021November-December/2021
Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS): The scale consists of 14 items. 7 of these items measure anxiety and 7 of them measure depression symptoms. The items in the scale are evaluated with a 4-point Likert scale and are based on a scoring system between 0-3.
November-December/2021November-December/2021

Other Outcome Measures

Other Outcome Measures

For clinical trials, a planned measurement described in the protocol that is used to determine the effect of an intervention/treatment on participants. For observational studies, a measurement or observation that is used to describe patterns of diseases or traits, or associations with exposures, risk factors, or treatment. Types of outcome measures include primary outcome measure and secondary outcome measure.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
quality of life assessment
Time Frame: November-December/2021November-December/2021
It is an internationally comparable assessment tool developed by the World Health Organization. The scale evaluates the level of quality of life. The scale consists of 26 items. The Turkish version of WHOQOL-Bref consists of 27 items. Question 27 has been added to the Turkish version of the scale as a national environmental field and is used only in national studies. The scale includes the areas of physical health, psychological health, social relations, environment and national environment. It has a 5-point likert-type rating system. The score of each area is important on its own. Higher scores in each area indicate better quality of life. The first two questions of the quality of life scale are not included in the scoring and are evaluated separately. The number of questions, which was 26 in the original of the scale, is used as 27 in the Turkish version.
