To investigate the current psychosocial challenges faced by adults with Cystic Fibrosis (CF), while exploring attitudes and experiences of mindfulness and self-compassion. Mindfulness and self-compassion are important resources for supporting psychological and physical well-being, yet there is limited research exploring these positive psychology concepts in CF literature. Twenty UK domiciled adults with a diagnosis of CF, took part in a semi-structured interview. Using a thematic analysis approach, four themes were developed: (a) “I didn’t expect to be here”: Surpassing the CF life expectancy, (b) “Am I psychologically bringing this upon myself?”: Psychological complexities of CF, (c) “I’ve had to really learn to be kind to myself”: The importance of compassion and being self-compassionate, (d) “I think it’s a great tool”: The benefits of practising mindfulness. This research demonstrates a robust need for increased integration of accessible psychological practices into routine CF-care and self-care for adults with CF. Particularly, practises and interventions that draw on the concepts of mindfulness and self-compassion, which may benefit patient’s health and wellbeing profoundly.
