Abstract
Unlabelled:
TWO COMPLEMENTARY APPROACHES: Education programs are an integral part of the treatment of osteoarthritis and should include information of prognosis as well as advise on lifestyle and/or use of antalgesics. They should also constitute a structured educational approach with the objective of reaching a certain level of comprehension.
Evaluation:
The efficacy of educational programs is difficult to demonstrate. However, results of recent evaluations based on the best methodological criteria should be helpful in defining optimal methods for patient education.
