The 6-week Arthritis Self-Management Program (ASMP) is more effective than the 3-week version for managing arthritis. A brief 1.5-hour program also boosts knowledge and self-efficacy in arthritis patients.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Public Health
  • Health Education

Background:

  • The Arthritis Self-Management Program (ASMP) is a widely used intervention.
  • Evaluating program effectiveness and duration is crucial for optimizing arthritis care.
  • Community-based programs offer accessible avenues for arthritis management.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To identify the strengths and weaknesses of the Arthritis Self-Management Program (ASMP).
  • To compare the effectiveness of 3-week versus 6-week ASMP durations.
  • To assess the impact of a 1.5-hour arthritis self-management program.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative methods with an incomplete block design were used for Study 1.
  • Study 2 involved a direct comparison of outcomes between 3-week and 6-week ASMP groups.

  • Study 3 employed a pretest/posttest design to evaluate the short arthritis program.

    • Main Results:

    • Pain management, exercise, and peer support were identified as key strengths of the ASMP.
    • The 6-week ASMP significantly improved pain, health distress, illness impact, exercise, cognitive pain management, and self-efficacy.
    • The 3-week ASMP showed improvements in health distress, cognitive pain management, and self-efficacy, while the 1.5-hour program enhanced knowledge, self-efficacy, and Arthritis Foundation contact.

    Conclusions:

    • The 6-week ASMP demonstrates superior outcomes compared to a condensed 3-week format.
    • A shorter, 1.5-hour community-based arthritis program can effectively enhance patient knowledge and self-efficacy.
    • Targeted components like pain management and exercise are highly valued by participants in arthritis self-management programs.
