Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

This study aims to investigate the effectiveness of the Biopsychosocial Exercise Therapy Approach (BETY), which is a biopsychosocial model, on daily living activities, anxiety, depression, and biopsychosocial conditions through telerehabilitation in rheumatic patients who could not go to the clinics during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

35 female participants with rheumatic disease were included in the study. Among the individuals who participated in face-to-face BETY sessions before, 23 individuals who agreed to exercise with telerehabilitation were divided into 2 groups, the exercise group, and 12 individuals in the control group.

Group 1: Telerehabilitation group: Individuals in the telerehabilitation group attended sessions that lasted for one and a half hours, 3 days a week for 8 weeks, in the company of a physiotherapist over the Whatsapp group. The investigators, who provided supervision during the sessions, also participated in the exercises simultaneously. The investigators managed the individuals according to their exercise number and order, by reminding them of the exercises with explanatory messages and positive energy via Whatsapp group. The participation of the patients in the exercises was followed up with the answers they gave in the Whatsapp group. Patients who did not respond were called by phone and checked to see if they provided continuity. Both the exercise group and the control group continued their drug treatments during this period.

Group 2: Control group: Individuals in the control group continued their routine drugs.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Experimental Group: Telerehabilitation assisted exercise program

The telerehabilitation-assisted exercise program included a Biopsychosocial Exercise Therapy approach (BETY).

The approaches that make up the BETY innovation are grouped under 4 headings: Patient education on chronic pain, functional body stabilization exercises (mind-body information management), dance therapy-authentic movement (emotion-state information management), and sexual information management.

Tele-rehabilitation group participated in the sessions that lasted for one and a half hours, 3 days a week for 8 weeks, over the Whatsapp group.

The investigators, who provided supervision during the sessions, also participated in the exercises simultaneously.
