Abstract
Objective: To examine the social experiences of youth with Juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA).
Methods: This systematic review synthesizes findings from 18 qualitative studies (2014-2024) based on a search from four databases (Scopus, PubMed, Web of Science, and PsycINFO). The studies were assessed for quality using the Critical Appraisal Skills Programme Qualitative Checklist (CASP, 2024).
Results: Six key themes emerged: (1) Physical Barriers to Social Interaction, (2) Lack of Understanding from Others, (3) Enacted Stigma, (4) Anticipated Stigma, (5) Internalized Stigma, and (6) Resources.
Conclusions: The review findings support increasing public awareness, fostering peer support, enhancing self-advocacy skills, and implementing stigma-reduction strategies to better support the social functioning of youth with JIA. Future research should explore long-term effects of stigma and evaluate targeted interventions to improve social experiences and quality of life for this population.
目的:探讨青少年特发性关节炎(JIA)患者的社会经历。方法:本系统综述基于四个数据库(Scopus、PubMed、Web of Science和PsycINFO)的检索,综合了18项定性研究(2014-2024)的结果。使用关键评估技能计划定性检查表(CASP, 2024)评估研究的质量。结果:研究发现了六个关键主题:(1)社会互动的物理障碍,(2)缺乏他人的理解,(3)制定的耻辱,(4)预期的耻辱,(5)内化的耻辱,以及(6)资源。结论:审查结果支持提高公众意识,促进同伴支持,提高自我倡导技能,并实施减少耻辱感的战略,以更好地支持JIA青年的社会功能。未来的研究应该探索耻辱感的长期影响,并评估有针对性的干预措施,以改善这一人群的社会体验和生活质量。
