Educational Agenda

ObjectivesThe authors aim to develop European League Against Rheumatism recommendations for the role of the nurse in the management of patients with chronic inflammatory arthritis, to identify a research agenda and to determine an educational agenda.MethodsA task force made up of a multidisciplinary expert panel including nurses, rheumatologists, occupational therapist, physiotherapist, psychologist, epidemiologist and patient representatives, representing 14 European countries, carried out the development of the recommendations, following the European League Against Rheumatism standardised operating procedures.The task force met twice. In the first meeting, the aims of the task force were defined, and eight research questions were developed. This was followed by a comprehensive, systematic literature search. In the second meeting, the results from the literature review were presented to the task force that subsequently formulated the recommendations, research agenda and educational agenda.ResultsIn total, 10 recommendations were formulated. Seven recommendations covered the contribution of nurses to care and management: education, satisfaction with care, access to care, disease management, psychosocial support, self-management and efficiency of care. Three recommendations focused on professional support for nurses: availability of guidelines or protocols, access to education and encouragement to undertake extended roles. The strength of the recommendations varied from A to C, dependent on the category of evidence (1A–3), and a high level of agreement was achieved. Additionally, the task force agreed upon 10 topics for future research and an educational agenda.Conclusion10 recommendations for the role of the nurse in the management of chronic inflammatory arthritis were developed using a combination of evidence-based and expert consensus approach.

Chronic inflammatory arthritis (CIA) severely impacts quality of life in over 100 million people in China. In 2011, the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) developed recommendations for the role of nurses in the management of CIA. However, it remains unknown whether these recommendations could be fully implemented in China. Therefore, we aimed to solve the problem in this study. We conducted a nationwide cross-sectional study among 485 nurses in rheumatology and immunology departments based on an online questionnaire. The agreement of the recommendations by the subjects and the feasibility of the recommendations they believe were assessed by visual analogue scale (VAS). Our results showed that over 80% of the subjects agreed with each recommendation (VAS 5–10), and over 80% of the subjects considered the recommendations feasible (VAS 5–10). This study indicates that the EULAR recommendations can also be well implemented in China.

According to the materials of the 2015/2016 new European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) guidelines for reducing cardiovascular risk in patients with inflammatory arthritis. The authors identify three main principles of prevention of cardiovascular diseases in rheumatoid arthritis and other chronic inflammatory arthritis and provide a general characterization of the guidelines, by reviewing the discussion problems.

Level Of Agreement

To update the European League Against Rheumatism (EULAR) recommendations for the role of the nurse in the management of chronic inflammatory arthritis (CIA) using the most up to date evidence. The EULAR standardised operating procedures were followed. A task force of rheumatologists, health professionals and patients, representing 17 European countries updated the recommendations, based on a systematic literature review and expert consensus. Higher level of evidence and new insights into nursing care for patients with CIA were added to the recommendation. Level of agreement was obtained by email voting. The search identified 2609 records, of which 51 (41 papers, 10 abstracts), mostly on rheumatoid arthritis, were included. Based on consensus, the task force formulated three overarching principles and eight recommendations. One recommendation remained unchanged, six were reworded, two were merged and one was reformulated as an overarching principle. Two additional overarching principles were formulated. The overarching principles emphasise the nurse’s role as part of a healthcare team, describe the importance of providing evidence-based care and endorse shared decision-making in the nursing consultation with the patient. The recommendations cover the contribution of rheumatology nursing in needs-based patient education, satisfaction with care, timely access to care, disease management, efficiency of care, psychosocial support and the promotion of self-management. The level of agreement among task force members was high (mean 9.7, range 9.6-10.0). The updated recommendations encompass three overarching principles and eight evidence-based and expert opinion-based recommendations for the role of the nurse in the management of CIA.

Point Of Interest

Ankylosing spondylitis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory arthritis which involves mainly the spine and the sacroiliac joints, but also the peripheral joints and non-articular structures. IL-12 and IL-23 are heterodimeric cytokines sharing a common p40 subunit. Studies showed than IL-12 is essential for Th1 differentiation while IL-23 promotes a particular subset of T cells characterized by IL-17 production, called Th17. Since the association of IL-23R with AS was reported, the scientific interest has focused on identifying new single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs), present in the coding genes for IL-12/IL-23 subunits and their receptors, that increase the susceptibility for AS. Another point of interest for researchers was to investigate if the identified gene variants modify the gene expression of the respective interleukins and/or their receptors, whether that refers to their mRNA expression, their serum levels or the expression of the receptors on the surface of T cells. Given the increasing amount of data that suggests the pivotal role of the IL-23/Th17 axis in AS pathophysiology, new promising therapies, designed to interfere with these pathways, are now in development.
