Background: This study aimed to explore the awareness, experiences, and beliefs of individuals with osteoarthritis (OA) regarding their healthcare management, along with assessing their overall satisfaction levels.
Methods: A cross-sectional online survey was conducted in Italy, Sweden, and Russia, rigorously developed based on OA international guidelines in collaboration with healthcare professionals and individuals with OA. Participants over 40 years of age with self-reported hip and/or knee OA were eligible.
Objective: To understand (1) what guidance exists to assess the methodological quality of qualitative research; (2) what methods exist to grade levels of evidence from qualitative research to inform recommendations within European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR).
Methods: A systematic literature review was performed in multiple databases including PubMed/Medline, EMBASE, Web of Science, COCHRANE and PsycINFO, from inception to 23 October 2020. Eligible studies included primary articles and guideline documents available in English, describing the: (1) development; (2) application of validated tools (eg, checklists); (3) guidance on assessing methodological quality of qualitative research and (4) guidance on grading levels of qualitative evidence.
Background: Ongoing education of health professionals in rheumatology (HPR) is critical for high-quality care. An essential factor is education readiness and a high quality of educational offerings. We explored which factors contributed to education readiness and investigated currently offered postgraduate education, including the European Alliance of Associations for Rheumatology (EULAR) offerings.

- 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.
Article Synopsis
- A group called EULAR created guidelines to help doctors treat rheumatoid arthritis that is hard to manage.
- They looked at many studies and got opinions from experts to create 11 key points to remember when treating patients.
- The guidelines are meant to help doctors and patients work together for better treatment, even though there isn’t a lot of strong evidence available yet.
Background/objectives: To maintain and optimise the quality of care provided by health professionals in rheumatology (HPRs), adequate educational offerings are needed. This task force (TF) aimed to develop evidence-based recommendations for the generic core competences of HPRs, with specific reference to nurses, physical therapists (PTs) and occupational therapists (OTs) to serve as a basis for their postgraduate education.
Methods: The EULAR standardised operating procedures for the development of recommendations were followed.
