Methods: Data were obtained from a descriptive observational cross-sectional nationwide survey performed in 2011 in France. Community- and hospital-based rheumatologists were selected at random.
Rationale: Biodrugs carry specific risks that patients must be aware of and capable of managing. Until now, few studies have addressed the self-care safety skills of patients taking biodrugs. The primary objective of this study was to describe the self-care safety skills of patients taking biodrugs for chronic inflammatory joint disease.
