  • Patient Education
  • Health Sciences

Context:

  • Systemic sclerosis (SSc) presents unique challenges for patients requiring specialized education.
  • Existing patient education resources for SSc may be limited or not patient-centered.
  • A collaborative approach involving healthcare professionals and patient organizations is crucial for effective SSc management.

Purpose:

  • To develop and evaluate a comprehensive, modular education program for patients diagnosed with systemic sclerosis.
  • To empower SSc patients with knowledge and self-management skills through structured learning.
  • To facilitate a patient-centered educational experience using a subject-focused interaction method.
