Examined the effectiveness of a cognitive behavioral intervention to help adolescents with cysticfibrosis (CF) cope with daily stressors. Five youths were referred for the therapy by medical staff because of perceived problems with anxiety or coping. Treatment impact was assessed on measures of coping, anxiety, perceptions of functional disability, and parental reports of behavior. A multiple baseline design across subjects was used. eductionsin anxiety, a decrease in maladaptive coping efforts with CF-related problems, and an increase in positive coping with CF-related problems were obtained. Youths also reported a decrease in functional disability due to CF after the initiation of the intervention. Followup assessment indicated that most youths maintained gains in anxiety and perceived functional disability, but not coping efforts. Results suggest that cognitive behavioral treatment is a viable intervention for anxious youths with CF

Key words: cognitive behavioral intervention; cystic fibrosis.
