Background: The integration of telehealth interventions into clinical practice is frequently delayed, hindering the full adoption. Previously, we developed a digital patient education (PE) programme for self-management in rheumatoid arthritis (RA). While the programme design considered crucial factors to ensure the likelihood of success in clinical practice, there is a need for a systematic evaluation of implementation perspectives.

The Compliance Questionnaire Rheumatology (CQR) measures adherence in rheumatic diseases through 19 items covering drug-taking behaviour to identify the reasons for adhering to treatment and the factors that contribute to suboptimal adherence. The objective of this study was to present the translation of the CQR into Danish and the face validity and reliability test.

- The goal of the study was to understand how patients with rheumatoid arthritis feel about digital education tools that help them manage their condition.
- Patients liked the e-learning program because it was flexible, fun, and they could learn at home, but they missed talking to healthcare providers for support.
- The study concluded that while digital education is helpful, there should be different types offered to meet the needs of patients at different stages of their illness.
Article Synopsis
- Remote care and telehealth can enhance healthcare access for patients with rheumatic and musculoskeletal diseases, especially highlighted during the COVID-19 pandemic which necessitated alternatives to in-person visits.
- A multidisciplinary task force developed points to consider (PtC) for implementing telehealth, supported by research and group consensus through voting.
- The formulated guidelines emphasize tailoring telehealth to patient needs, ensuring healthcare teams are equipped and trained, and resolving barriers to effective use, aiming to improve care quality and accessibility for individuals with RMD.
Background: Patient education is integral to the treatment and care of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Change is taking place in the organisation of healthcare systems because of a demographic shift towards ageing populations, an increasing use of technology and advancements in digital technologies, allowing for new interventions. This study will aim to evaluate the effectiveness of a newly developed e-learning patient education programme based on self-management that targets patients with rheumatoid arthritis.

Methods: The development process involved content specification and creative design. It was theoretically framed within theories of multimedia learning and entertainment-education and empirically based on evidence of patient education in rheumatoid arthritis and focus group discussions with stakeholders.
Aim: The aim of this study was to investigate experiences and needs in the transition from child to adult care in an outpatient clinic from the perspective of adolescents with juvenile idiopathic arthritis and their parents focusing on which aspects in the transition could ease the process.
Design: A qualitative design with an inductive approach.
Methods: Inductive content analysis was used to analyse individual interviews with three parents and three adolescents from a rheumatology clinic in Denmark.
