Abstract
Idiopathic pulmonary fibrosis(IPF) is a chronic, progressive lung disease of unknown cause characterized by advanced fibrosis and poor prognosis.This devastating and life threatening disease greatly impacts patients and their family members. Little is known about the best way to educate IPF patients. For this purpose, I developed an educational kit using simple and inexpensive materials that can be easily found and to help visually explain IPF. This educational kit consists of three parts. Using this kit, a patient can have a clearer idea of IPF disease visually, tactilely and auditorily. In conclusion, in medical practice, the educational kit can provide clear, easily understandable and concise information for patients with IPF.
