Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Health Psychology
  • Adult Education

Background:

  • Rheumatic diseases require long-term management strategies.
  • Self-management programs are crucial for improving patient outcomes.
  • The Program for Rheumatic Independent Self-Management (PRISM) aims to empower patients.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To evaluate the effectiveness of the PRISM program.
  • To assess changes in self-efficacy, disability, and pain.
  • To determine the long-term impact of the program at 6-month follow-up.

Main Methods:

  • A before-after study design was employed.
  • 57 individuals with rheumatic conditions participated.
  • Outcome measures included self-efficacy, disability, pain, and coping ability.

Main Results:

  • Self-efficacy scores significantly increased post-program and were maintained at 6 months.
  • Disability levels significantly decreased from baseline to 6-month follow-up.
  • Pain levels significantly reduced from post-class to 6-month follow-up.

Conclusions:

  • The PRISM program shows preliminary effectiveness in enhancing self-efficacy.
  • PRISM may be a valuable intervention for reducing disability and pain in rheumatic conditions.
  • These findings support the integration of self-management principles in rheumatic disease care.
