| Abstract | Interstitial Lung Disease in childhood (chILD) is rare, and little research has been conducted into the experience of fatigue. Fatigue is a complex phenomenon that can be difficult to quantify due to the various physiological and psychological factors involved. However, fatigue can significantly impact a range of quality-of-life areas for those with a respiratory condition. Our aim is to understand if there are any clinical or research needs relating to fatigue for young people with chILD. This qualitative, non-clinical study explores the lived experience of fatigue in young people with chILD. Fifteen participants comprising child-parent dyads (n = 2), young adults (n = 4) and parents (n = 9) were recruited from chILD patient organisations and online communities. We focused on the experience of fatigue in terms of how it is communicated, the symptoms, and their impact. We explored whether any factors led to the young person being motivated to push beyond fatigue. Data was analysed by constructivist grounded theory. There were three main themes of interest: (i) the experience of fatigue that includes reporting abnormal weakness and behavioural affect; (ii) the consequences of fatigue, such as its impact on education, society, and quality-of-life; (iii) motivational strategies and supportive measures that help young people manage their fatigue. Fatigue is a complex, multi-dimensional phenomenon for those living with chILD. For future work, we recommend incorporating the discussion of fatigue into clinic settings to assess any quality-of-life burden factors alongside living with chILD. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
