More Added Value of Therapeutic Education in the Management of Patients With Rheumatoid Arthritis

Taking into account the recommendations of the Health Authority [1] and the application of patients' associations, we have structured a course of therapeutic education includes three stages for patients with rheumatoid arthritis and followed at Nantes University Hospital. Step 1: initial interview with a nurse patient education for diagnosis and education with the patient to choose three subjects from among 10 offered him problematic; Step 2: Orientation in an educational path that provides access to 6 months group workshops (3 maximum) and / or interviews tailored to the three selected topics; Step 3: final interview with a nurse said therapeutic education formative assessment to take stock. The main objective of our work is to ensure that the patient finds it easier solutions to the three problematic topics him after 6 months of education after six months without treatment.

Study Overview

Status

Status

Conditions

Conditions

The disease, disorder, syndrome, illness, or injury that is being studied. On ClinicalTrials.gov, conditions may also include other health-related issues, such as lifespan, quality of life, and health risks.

Intervention / Treatment

Intervention / Treatment

A process or action that is the focus of a clinical study. Interventions include drugs, medical devices, procedures, vaccines, and other products that are either investigational or already available. Interventions can also include noninvasive approaches, such as education or modifying diet and exercise.

Phase

Phase

The stage of a clinical trial studying a drug or biological product, based on definitions developed by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The phase is based on the study's objective, the number of participants, and other characteristics. There are five phases: Early Phase 1 (formerly listed as Phase 0), Phase 1, Phase 2, Phase 3, and Phase 4. Not Applicable is used to describe trials without FDA-defined phases, including trials of devices or behavioral interventions.

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Primary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, the planned outcome measure that is the most important for evaluating the effect of an intervention/treatment. Most clinical studies have one primary outcome measure, but some have more than one.
Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
EVA measures the overall ability to find solutions applicable to their situation
Time Frame: 12 months
Investigate whether, overall, the patient is more easily applicable solutions to the situation after six months of therapeutic education after six months without therapeutic education for three problems identified after the initial filling of the questionnaire (controls ) and after the initial interview with the nurse (test group)
12 months

Secondary Outcome Measures

Secondary Outcome Measures

In a clinical study's protocol, a planned outcome measure that is not as important as the primary outcome measure for evaluating the effect of an intervention but is still of interest. Most clinical studies have more than one secondary outcome measure.
