Abstract

Background: Effective management of rheumatoid arthritis (RA) relies on patients acquiring a specific set of skills. Patient education is a promising approach to achieve this. Despite extensive research in this area, a complete understanding of the necessary skills for persons living with RA remains elusive. This study aims to identify the essential skills required for individuals with RA, develop a hierarchical framework, and provide insights for targeted therapeutic education programs.

Materials and methods: A qualitative approach using constructivist grounded theory was employed. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with (23) medical professionals specializing in RA and (16) RA patients. The data were analyzed using Atlas.ti software.

Results: Six major themes emerged: self-care and coping, emotional and psychological resilience, knowledge and literacy in RA, personal development, communication and relationship building, and self-learning and problem-solving. These themes suggest a hierarchical structure, with knowledge serving as the foundation and progressing to more complex skills such as problem-solving and communication.

Conclusion: This study provides an overview of the multifaceted nature of the skills required for optimal RA management. The proposed hierarchical structure offers a robust framework for developing targeted therapeutic education programs. The findings highlight the significance of a patient-centered approach in the effective management of RA.

揭示有效类风湿关节炎管理的基本技能:定性接地理论研究。
背景:类风湿性关节炎(RA)的有效治疗依赖于患者获得一套特定的技能。患者教育是实现这一目标的一个有希望的方法。尽管在这一领域进行了广泛的研究,但对RA患者的必要技能的全面了解仍然难以捉摸。本研究旨在确定类风湿性关节炎患者所需的基本技能,建立一个层次框架,并为有针对性的治疗教育计划提供见解。材料与方法:采用建构主义扎根理论的定性研究方法。对(23)名专门从事类风湿性关节炎的医学专业人员和(16)名类风湿性关节炎患者进行了半结构化访谈。使用Atlas对数据进行分析。ti的软件。结果:出现了六个主要主题:自我照顾和应对、情绪和心理弹性、RA的知识和素养、个人发展、沟通和关系建立、自我学习和解决问题。这些主题表明了一种层次结构,知识是基础,然后发展到更复杂的技能,如解决问题和沟通。结论:本研究概述了最佳RA管理所需技能的多面性。提出的分层结构为发展有针对性的治疗教育项目提供了一个强有力的框架。研究结果强调了以患者为中心的方法在RA有效管理中的重要性。
