Brief Summary

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

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of a nurse-led disease management education program in AS on patient compliance, disease activity, functional capacity, kinesiophobia, and quality of life. A total of 122 patients diagnosed with AS according to the modified New York criteria were included in the study. The intervention group received nurse-led individualized disease management education. In the control group, no interventions were performed other than routine clinical procedures.

Detailed Description

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of a nurse-led disease management education program in AS on patient compliance, disease activity, functional capacity, kinesiophobia, and quality of life. A total of 122 patients diagnosed with AS according to the modified New York criteria were included in the study. The intervention group received nurse-led individualized disease management education. After the education, the group was contacted by telephone six times for 12 weeks to monitor the results. Patient education was provided through booklets and videos. In the control group, no interventions were performed other than routine clinical procedures.Patients were assessed using the same scales at baseline and end of the week 12.
