Objective: Stress and trauma are psychosocial factors with an impact on the course of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). The influence of violence on SLE has not been entirely explored, even though women (including patients with rheumatic diseases) are a vulnerable population to any form of violence. This study aims to assess the prevalence and impact of intimate partner violence (IPV) on health-related quality of life in women with SLE.

- The study aimed to evaluate the quality of care for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) using 18 validated quality indicators (QIs) based on EULAR guidelines and to examine its relationship with patient care satisfaction.
- It analyzed 70 patients aged 18 and older, finding an overall QI adherence of 62.29% and a care satisfaction score of 100, but no significant correlation between the two (r = 0.064, p = 0.599).
- Patients in remission showed better compliance with QIs compared to those with moderate to high disease activity, indicating that disease status may impact quality of care adherence.
