This trial is testing whether a structured counseling and rehabilitation program can help people with idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis (a serious lung condition that causes scarring and breathing problems) feel better and function more easily. The program includes education, support, and guidance to help you manage your condition alongside any medications your doctor prescribes.
People with pulmonary fibrosis struggle with breathing problems, fatigue, and emotional distress, but doctors don't yet have a clear understanding of how counseling and rehabilitation support can help these patients. This trial aims to measure whether structured support improves fitness, reduces fatigue, and enhances quality of life for people living with this difficult condition.

You would attend counseling and rehabilitation sessions as part of the program offered at the Bologna University Hospital Pneumology clinic. During your involvement, doctors will assess your breathing capacity, physical fitness, emotional well-being, fatigue levels, and quality of life at different time points to see whether the counseling and rehabilitation help you. The study will also track how your disease progresses over time.
