Pain reports·2024

Over 40% of arthritis patients participated in self-management programs (SMPs) when offered continuously for 20 years. Participant demographics were similar, though more Caucasians and females attended SMPs.

Area of Science:

  • Rheumatology
  • Public Health
  • Health Services Research

Background:

  • Arthritis self-management programs (SMPs) are crucial for patient empowerment.
  • Participation rates in SMPs are not well-documented, hindering program evaluation.
  • Understanding who participates is key to improving access and effectiveness.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To determine the participation rate of arthritis patients in SMPs.
  • To identify characteristics of participants versus non-participants.
  • To analyze SMP uptake in a region with long-standing program availability.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized data from the Arthritis, Rheumatism, and Aging Medical Information System (ARAMIS).
  • Focused on osteoarthritis (OA) and rheumatoid arthritis patients in the San Francisco Bay area.

  • Employed t-tests and chi-square tests to compare participant and non-participant demographics.

    • Main Results:

    • 41.9% of SF Bay area patients participated in an SMP.
    • Small group SMPs offered continuously over 2 decades had the highest attendance (28%).
    • Participants and non-participants were similar in age and education, but participants were more likely to be white and female.

    Conclusions:

    • Continuous, multi-setting availability of arthritis SMPs can reach over 40% of patients.
    • Further research with diverse populations and regions is needed.
    • Targeted strategies may be required to enhance SMP participation in varied demographic groups.
