Health Coaching for Lung Transplant Candidates
This study is testing if individual health coaching can improve how lung transplant candidates feel and cope. You would work with a health coach by phone for up to 12 sessions over 12-16 weeks. This is compared to standard care, which includes pre-transplant education. The study aims to see if health coaching improves your scores on questionnaires about your breathing problems and emotional well-being. You can join if you are 18 or older, speak English, and are on the waiting list or deferred for a lung transplant at Mayo Clinic Rochester, Mayo Clinic Florida, or University of Washington. The study is currently unclear on its recruitment status.

- Change in Score on Chronic Respiratory Disease Questionnaire (CRQ) Mastery SubdomainBaseline, 12-16 Week Follow-up
Participants will complete questions comprising the CRQ Mastery subdomain (7,10,13, and 19) of a 20-item Chronic Respiratory Questionnaire (CRQ) at baseline and after the 12-week intervention. CRQ Mastery subscores measure self-management abilities and range from 1 to 7, with higher scores indicating higher self-efficacy. The minimum clinically important difference is 0.5.
