Article Synopsis
- The study aimed to evaluate how education impacts the exercise habits of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients over 6 and 12 months.
- A total of 208 patients participated in a trial, where one group received a comprehensive education program focused on home exercises and leisure physical activity, while the control group only got a booklet with standard care information.
- Results showed that the educated group had better compliance with exercise at 6 months, but this improvement did not last to the 12-month mark, suggesting that education has a short-term benefit for increasing activity levels in patients with low initial engagement.
Objective: To evaluate the effect on health and functional status of an 8-week group-education program for rheumatoid arthritis (RA) in addition to usual medical care.
Methods: All consecutive inpatients and outpatients with RA (ACR criteria) were asked to participate in this randomized, prospective, controlled trial. The educational intervention consisted of 8 weekly ambulatory sessions, each lasting 6 hours.
