Background: Rheumatoid arthritis is an inflammatory, autoimmune, chronic and progressive disease with variable clinical symptoms, which has a negative impact on the life dimensions of affected people. This study aims to determine the impact of self-care training based on a conceptual map on the quality of life of rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Methods: The present study is a non-randomized clinical trial study. The sampling method is accessible and continuous. The samples will be taken from patients with rheumatoid arthritis referring to rheumatology clinics of selected hospitals of Tehran University of Medical Sciences. First, 35 people will be in the control group and the next 35 people will be in the test group. Data collection tools in this research include demographic information questionnaire, quality of life questionnaire in rheumatoid arthritis patients (RAQoL). The intervention in the test group is carried out in the form of two sessions of self-care training in the concept map method and one week apart. The control group receives routine training. The quality of life of the patients will be done in two stages: pre-test and post-test (one month after the last training) for both control and test groups. Data analysis is done in SPSS version 16 software.
Results: This intervention can probably change and improve the quality of life of patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Conclusion: The use of new educational methods in self-care education of patients with rheumatoid arthritis seems necessary to improve the quality of life. Therefore, the present study will be conducted on self-care training based on conceptual map in rheumatoid arthritis patients. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by chronic peripheral and extra-articular synovitis. Manifestations of this can lead to reduced functional independence, work capacity and quality of life, partly due to pain and joint deformities. |
