MORENO RODRIGUEZ, R.; GARCIA DE VICUNA, R.; GOICOECHEA GARCIA, C. e TORNERO MOLINA, J.. Effects of an occupational therapy intervention in chronic pain perception and quality of life of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Rev. Soc. Esp. Dolor [online]. 2015, vol.22, n.3, pp.95-101. ISSN 1134-8046. https://dx.doi.org/10.4321/S1134-80462015000300002.
Objectives: To determine if an occupational therapy based intervention focused on performance reorganization on patients with rheumatoid arthritis reduces pain and improves self-efficacy and quality of life. Material and methods: Randomized controlled intervention study through a group program of seven occupational therapy sessions, conducted in five weeks. Results: We found an improvement in self-efficacy (p<0,001) and quality of life scores (p = 0,001, p = 0,08), as well as pain intensity MPQ (McGill Pain Questionnaire) measures, although the values collected with VAS (visual analogue scale) maintained over time. Conclusions: The program was effective in changing the studied variables, although a new study with a larger sample is required.
