Abstract

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. The analytical framework included descriptive analysis (assessment of awareness levels for 'recommended', 'optional', and 'not recommended' treatments), analysis of suggested treatments and taken treatments, exploration of beliefs, barriers and satisfaction analysis (0-100 scale).

Results: A total of 401 participants (mean age: 59.7, 78.3% female, 28% Italian, 49% Swedish, 23% Russian) contributed to the study. In Sweden, 57%-72% accurately identified recommended treatments, while in Russia, the range was 34%-91%, and in Italy, it was 35%-73%. The predominant suggested and taken treatments were oral anti-inflammatory drugs in Italy (87/81%) and Russia (97/97%) and specific exercise in Sweden (84/79%). Notably, only Sweden reached a consensus on the effectiveness of exercise for everyone, while Russia and Italy insisted on radiographic findings as a prerequisite for exercise. Mean satisfaction levels were 59.7 (Italy), 47.4 (Sweden), and 35.2 (Russia).

Conclusions: This study uncovered variations in awareness, treatment preferences, and beliefs among the three countries, underscoring the necessity for tailored education on OA management that accounts for regional differences across Europe.

骨关节炎护理管理视角的地域差异：意大利、瑞典和俄罗斯的横断面研究。

背景：本研究旨在探讨骨关节炎（OA）患者对其医疗管理的认识、经验和信念，同时评估他们的总体满意度：本研究旨在探讨骨关节炎（OA）患者对其医疗保健管理的认识、经验和信念，同时评估他们的总体满意度：在意大利、瑞典和俄罗斯开展了一项横断面在线调查，该调查是根据骨关节炎国际指南与医疗保健专业人员和骨关节炎患者合作严格制定的。年龄在 40 岁以上、自述患有髋关节和/或膝关节 OA 的参与者均符合条件。分析框架包括描述性分析（评估对 "推荐"、"可选 "和 "不推荐 "治疗的认知水平）、建议治疗和已采取治疗的分析、信念探索、障碍和满意度分析（0-100 分制）：共有 401 名参与者（平均年龄：59.7 岁，78.3% 为女性，28% 为意大利人，49% 为瑞典人，23% 为俄罗斯人）参与了研究。在瑞典，57%-72%的人能够准确识别推荐的治疗方法，而在俄罗斯，这一比例为 34%-91%，在意大利，这一比例为 35%-73%。在意大利（87/81%）和俄罗斯（97/97%），建议并采取的主要治疗方法是口服消炎药，在瑞典（84/79%），建议并采取的主要治疗方法是特定运动。值得注意的是，只有瑞典就运动对所有人的有效性达成了共识，而俄罗斯和意大利则坚持将放射学检查结果作为运动的先决条件。平均满意度分别为 59.7（意大利）、47.4（瑞典）和 35.2（俄罗斯）：本研究揭示了三个国家在认识、治疗偏好和信念方面的差异，强调了根据欧洲地区差异开展有针对性的 OA 管理教育的必要性。
