Brief Summary
Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.
Background:
It is documented that some patient education interventions, preferably with a behavioral component included, may improve pain, disability and moods Purpose of the study: the purpose of this study was to improve the quality of life and reduce pain in rheumatoid arthritis patients.
Methods:
Patients were allocated to a patient training intervention group and patient without training intervention group. Both groups received routine treatments while the patient training intervention group, in addition to the routine treatments received training booklets and participated in the training workshop. All the extracted data from the written questionnaire were collected and analyzed using SPSS software.
Detailed Description
Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.
The improvement in the signs of recovery for physical and mood symptoms in the patient training intervention group were seen (p \< 0.05). The score of quality of life had significantly improved in the two groups (Mean difference was 9.31±3.03 and P\<0.003). This improvement was significantly higher in the patient training intervention group (P=0.008). After adjustment for education level, the score of quality of life in patient training intervention group had a higher improvement, but the difference between the two groups was not significant (P = 0.1).
Conclusions:
This study showed the important role of training and the patients' educational level on better treatments. The appropriate training in the patient could create a change in the treatment process and has a better effect on quality of life.
