Abstract
Background This study aims to investigate the knowledge, attitudes, and practices (KAP) among patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) toward disease management and biologic therapy. Methods This cross-sectional study was conducted between April 20, 2023, and May 5, 2023, among patients with SLE at Union Hospital Affiliated to Tongji Medical College, Huazhong University of Science and Technology. A self-designed questionnaire was developed to collect demographic information of SLE patients and assess their KAP. Results A total of 463 SLE patients participated. The mean scores for knowledge, attitudes, and practices were 8.52 ± 2.36 (possible range: 0-11), 39.40 ± 3.38 (possible range: 11-55), and 27.10 ± 6.29 (possible range: 8-40), respectively. The path analysis demonstrated a significant and positive association between knowledge and attitudes, as indicated by a path coefficient of 0.455 (p < 0.001), and a significant and positive relationship between knowledge and practices, with a path coefficient of 0.709 (p < 0.001). Conclusion Patients with SLE exhibited insufficient knowledge, negative attitudes, and poor practices.

Parodis I, Gomez A, Tsoi A, Chow JW, Pezzella D, Girard C, Stamm TA, Boström C. Systematic literature review informing the EULAR recommendations for the non-pharmacological management of systemic lupus erythematosus and systemic sclerosis. RMD Open 2023; 9:e003297. [PMID: 37532469 PMCID: PMC10401222 DOI: 10.1136/rmdopen-2023-003297] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/09/2023] [Accepted: 06/28/2023] [Indexed: 08/04/2023] Open
Abstract
Through this systematic literature review, we assembled evidence to inform the EULAR recommendations for the non-pharmacological management of systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) and systemic sclerosis (SSc). We screened articles published between January 2000 and June 2021. Studies selected for data extraction (118 for SLE and 92 for SSc) were thematically categorised by the character of their intervention. Of 208 articles included, 51 were classified as robust in critical appraisal. Physical activity was the most studied management strategy and was found to be efficacious in both diseases. Patient education and self-management also constituted widely studied topics. Many studies on SLE found psychological interventions to improve quality of life. Studies on SSc found phototherapy and laser treatment to improve cutaneous disease manifestations. In summary, non-pharmacological management of SLE and SSc encompasses a wide range of interventions, which can be combined and provided either with or without adjunct pharmacological treatment but should not aim to substitute the latter when this is deemed required. While some management strategies i.e., physical exercise and patient education, are already established in current clinical practice in several centres, others e.g., phototherapy and laser treatment, show both feasibility and efficacy, yet require testing in more rigorous trials than those hitherto conducted.

Self-Efficacy of Saudi Patients with Autoimmune Diseases in Managing Hydroxychloroquine-Induced Ocular Complications: A Cross-Sectional Survey. Healthcare (Basel) 2022; 10:healthcare10030565. [PMID: 35327043 PMCID: PMC8951227 DOI: 10.3390/healthcare10030565] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.5] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/16/2022] [Revised: 03/08/2022] [Accepted: 03/14/2022] [Indexed: 12/10/2022] Open
Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) are common autoimmune diseases (AD) that affect joints and have multi-organ involvement that results in disability, morbidity, and increased mortality. Both conditions are known to cause a wide range of ocular manifestations. Antimalarial drugs, mainly hydroxychloroquine (HCQ), are among the treatment options for AD that is uniquely characterized by retinopathy as a main side effect. This study examines self-efficacy levels in autoimmune disease patients who were or are currently treated with HCQ and related factors such as patient education, communication with the physician, self-education, and ability to cope with the disease.

Self-care model application to improve self-care agency, self-care activities, and quality of life in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus. J Taibah Univ Med Sci 2018; 13:472-478. [PMID: 31435364 PMCID: PMC6695026 DOI: 10.1016/j.jtumed.2018.07.002] [Citation(s) in RCA: 5] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 02/14/2018] [Revised: 07/09/2018] [Accepted: 07/13/2018] [Indexed: 11/24/2022] Open
Abstract
Objectives This study aimed to examine the effect of the application of a self-care model to improve self-care agency (SCA), self-care operation, and quality of life (QoL) in patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE). Methods This study employed a pre-experimental design with one pretest-posttest group. Thirty-six respondents were selected through total sampling. The experimental group was provided self-care management training, followed by four weekly home visits. Self-care agency was measured with the self-care agency scale, the other variables through self-rated abilities on the health practices scale and Lupus quality inventory. Data were analysed using paired t-tests with α < 0.05. Results SLE was common in actively working married women of childbearing age, most of whom had had SLE for 1–2 years (33.3%), with arthritis being the most common symptom (reported by 61.1%). The major flare trigger factor was physical stress (66.7%), resulting in fatigue. On average, the self-care model was able to improve SCA by 19.93%, self-care operation by 17.53%, and QoL by 12.19%. It was significantly effective in enhancing SCA, self-care operation, and QoL in patients with SLE (p < 0.001). Conclusions The application of Orem's self-care model is effective in improving SCA, self-care, and QoL, and this study provides evidence of the benefits of its use in the nursing care of patients with SLE in a community setting. Health care providers should incorporate Orem's self-care model in nursing care to enhance SCA, self-care, and QoL in patients with SLE.
