Abstract Rheumatoid arthritis is an autoimmune disease when a person’s immune system attacks the body’s cells. Signs and symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis include joint inflammation and joint deformity. In most cases, patients with rheumatoid arthritis experience joint pain. Rheumatic Gymnastics is an alternative therapy that has been proven to reduce joint pain in rheumatic patients. The purpose of this case study is to describe the use of rheumatic exercise therapy in arthritic patients. The purpose of this case study is to examine therapeutic gymnastic in reducing pain among patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Two patients were taught to exercise therapeutic gymnastic. The research instrument is a pain scale observation sheet (Numerical Rating Scale). Two patients reported that there was a decreasing intensity of joint pain after doing exercise. This study concludes this particular exercise may reduce joint pain. Nurses are suggested to implement therapeutic gymnastics exercise in reducing pain among patients with Rheumatoid arthritis.Keywords : rheumatoid arthritis; pain; therapeutic gymnastics exercise Abstrak Rematik merupakan penyakit auto imun ketika sistem imun pada tubuh seseorang menyerang sel-sel tubuhnya sendiri.

Background:Fatigue in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is hypothesized to be caused by inflammation. Still ~50% of fatigue in RA cannot be explained by the disease activity score (DAS), nor by generic or psychological factors.Objectives:Since MRI can detect joint inflammation more sensitively than DAS, we hypothesized that residual inflammation detected by MRI could aid in explaining fatigue in RA at diagnosis and during follow-up.Methods:526 consecutive RA-patients were followed longitudinally. Fatigue was assessed yearly on a numerical rating scale. Hand and foot MRIs were performed at inclusion, after 12 and 24-months in 199 patients and were scored for inflammation (synovitis, tenosynovitis and osteitis combined). We studied whether RA-patients with more MRI-inflammation were more fatigued at diagnosis (linear regression), whether the 2-year course of MRI-inflammation associated with the course of fatigue (linear mixed models) and whether decrease in MRI-inflammation in year-1 associated with subsequent improvement in fatigue in year-2 (cross-lagged models). Similar analyses were done with DAS as inflammation measure.Results:At diagnosis, higher DAS-scores were associated with more severe fatigue (p<0.001). However, patients with more MRI-inflammation were not more fatigued (p=0.94). During 2-year follow-up, DAS decrease associated with improvement in fatigue (p<0.001), but MRI-inflammation decrease did not (p=0.96). DAS decrease in year-1 associated with fatigue improvement in year-2 (p=0.012), as did MRI-inflammation decrease (p=0.039), with similar effect strength.Conclusion:Sensitive measurements of joint inflammation did not aid in explaining fatigue in RA at diagnosis and follow-up. This supports the concept that fatigue in RA is partly uncoupled from inflammation.Disclosure of Interests:None declared

ABSTRAKRheumatoid arthritis (RA) merupakan permasalahan sistem muskuloskeletal yang paling banyak terjadi di seluruh dunia, dampak dari RA menyebabkan gangguan kenyamanan, nyeri, keterbatasan mobilitas sampai dengan resiko kecacatan dan kelumpuhan. Program aktifitas fisik yang efektif sangat direkomendasikan bagi penderita RA adalah senam rematik yang sudah terbukti mampu mengurangi skala nyeri bagi para penderita RA. Berdasarkan studi pendahuluan ternyata penderita RA belum mengetahui cara melakukan senam rematik untuk mengurangi nyeri sendi. Sehingga pengenalan dan pemeberian senam rematik bagi para penderita RA wilayah kerja Puskesmas Pulau Pinang perlu untuk dilakukan sebagai program aktifitas fisik yang diharapkan mampu menurungkan skala nyeri bagi para penderita RA. Metode yang dilakukkan adalah melakukan studi pendahuluan, bekerjasama dengan tenaga kesehatan, tokoh masyarakat dan kader yang ada di wilayah Puskesmas Pulau Pinang, pelaksanaan kegiatan dengan memberikan pelatihan dengan cara menonton video dan praktek secara langsung senam rematik, selanjutnya dlakukan pemantaun sebelum dan sesudah intervensi dengan menggunakan lembar observasi Numerical Rating scale (NRS). Hasilnya setelah diberikan senam rematik selama 1 bulan, dengan 1x kegiatan setiap minggu dengan durasi 8 menit, terjadi penurunan skala nyeri 15 orang peserta yang mengalami nyeri sedang menjadi nyeri ringan. Senam rematik mampu mempengaruhi kerja cerebral cortex meliputi aspek kognitif maupun emosi, sehingga dapat memberikan persepsi positif dan relaksasi, yang berdampak pada perasaan bahagia dan mengurangi nyeri. Kata Kunci : senam rematik; rheumatoid arthritis; nyeri; komunitas. ABSTRACT Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is the most common musculoskeletal system problem worldwide, the impact of RA causing discomfort, pain, limited mobility, and the risk of disability and paralysis. An effective physical activity program highly recommended for RA sufferers is rheumatic gymnastics, which has been proven to reduce pain scales for RA sufferers. Based on preliminary studies, RA patients do not know how to do rheumatic gymnastics to reduce joint pain. The introduction and intervention of rheumatic gymnastics for patients with RA in the Pulau Pinang Health Center need to be carried out as a physical activity program to reducing the pain scale for the sufferer of RA. The method used is conducting a preliminary study, collaboration with health workers, community leaders, and cadres in the Pulau Pinang Health Center area, implementing activities by providing training by watching videos and practicing rheumatic gymnastic, and then monitoring before and after the intervention using Numerical Rating scale (NRS) observation. The result was that after being given rheumatic exercise for one month, with one activity per week in 8 minutes duration, there was a decrease in the pain scale of 15 participants who experienced moderate pain to mild pain. Rheumatic gymnastics can affect the work of the cerebral cortex, including cognitive and emotional aspects, providing positive perceptions and relaxation, which has an impact on feelings of happiness and reduces pain. Keywords: rheumatic gymnastics; rheumatoid arthritis; pain; community.

The Rasch Model

Objective.The Outcome Measures in Rheumatology (OMERACT) Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) Flare Group was established to develop a reliable way to identify and measure RA flares in randomized controlled trials (RCT). Here, we summarized the development and field testing of the RA Flare Questionnaire (RA-FQ), and the voting results at OMERACT 2016.Methods.Classic and modern psychometric methods were used to assess reliability, validity, sensitivity, factor structure, scoring, and thresholds. Interviews with patients and clinicians also assessed content validity, utility, and meaningfulness of RA-FQ scores.Results.People with RA in observational trials in Canada (n = 896) and France (n = 138), and an RCT in the Netherlands (n = 178) completed 5 items (11-point numerical rating scale) representing RA Flare core domains. There was moderate to high evidence of reliability, content and construct validity, and responsiveness. Factor analysis supported unidimensionality. Rasch analysis showed acceptable fit to the Rasch model, with items and people covering a broad measurement continuum and evidence of appropriate targeting of items to people, ordered thresholds, minimal differential item functioning by language, sex, or age. A summative score across items is defensible, yielding an interval score (0–50) where higher scores reflect worsening flare. The RA-FQ received endorsement from 88% of attendees that it passed the OMERACT Filter 2.0 “Eyeball Test” for instrument selection.Conclusion.The RA-FQ has been developed to identify and measure RA flares. Its review through OMERACT Filter 2.0 shows evidence of reliability, content and construct validity, and responsiveness. These properties merit its further validation as an outcome for clinical trials.

The objective of this work was to study the agreement between four pain intensity scales when administered electronically: the Numerical Rating Scale-11, the Faces Pain Scale-Revised, the Visual Analogue Scale and the Coloured Analogue Scale. In all, 180 schoolchildren between 12 and 19 years old participated in the study. They had to report the maximum intensity of their most frequent pain using the electronic versions of the four scales. Agreement was calculated using the Bland–Altman method. Results show that the electronic versions of Numerical Rating Scale-11, Coloured Analogue Scale and Visual Analogue Scale can be used interchangeably.

The purpose of this study was to examine the effect of a therapeutic laughter program and the number of program sessions on anxiety, depression, and stress in breast cancer patients. A randomized controlled trial was conducted involving 31 patients who received four sessions of therapeutic laughter program comprised and 29 who were assigned to the no-program control group. Scores for anxiety, depression, and stress were measured using an 11-point numerical rating scale. While no change was detected in the control group, the program group reported reductions of 1.94, 1.84, and 2.06 points for anxiety, depression, and stress, respectively (p<0.01,p<0.01, andp<0.01). Scores decreased significantly after the first therapeutic laughter session (p<0.05,p<0.01, andp<0.01). As the therapeutic laughter program was effective after only a single session in reducing anxiety, depression, and stress in breast cancer patients, it could be recommended as a first-line complementary/alternative therapy.

Objective We evaluated the benefit of local anesthesia including tumescent anesthesia and active walking soon after surgery in preventing nerve injury and deep vein thrombosis caused during endovenous ablation. Methods Endovenous ablation was performed in 1334 consecutive patients. Varicectomy was performed using the stab avulsion technique. After surgery, patients were encouraged to walk 100–200 m inside the ward for 3–5 times/h. The pain was evaluated objectively using the Okamura pain scale and subjectively using the numerical rating scale. Results Stab avulsion was performed at 11.8 ± 8.0 sites and the mean operative time was 33.9 ± 15.2 min. The mean Okamura pain scale and numerical rating scale scores were 1.6 ± 1.3 and 3.0 ± 2.0, respectively. Deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism were absent. The incidence of nerve injury was 0.3%. Conclusions Endovenous ablation should be performed with the patients under local anesthesia to prevent nerve injury and deep vein thrombosis.

Pain intensity is considered as the fifth vital sign. However, it is the only vital sign which is subjective, with there being many pain measurement tools for adults to rate their level of pain. Additionally, there is an increasing number of aging populations throughout the world, and pain measurement in this group of people is challenging as geriatrics have both physical and cognitive impairment. The most frequently utilized pain measurement tools are; the Visual Analogue Scale (VAS), Verbal Rating Scale (VRS), Numerical Rating Scale (NRS); and faces scales [Faces Pain Scale (FPS) and Faces Pain Scale-Revised (FPS-R) are the faces scales studied most often] tend to be valid for measuring pain severity in cognitively intact elderly. When problems arise, the VAS is the pain measurement tool found to have more difficulties (including higher rates of failure) than the other tools. In elderly with cognitive deficits, fewer difficulties tend to occur as the tools become simpler, with the most valid and useful tools in the following order: the FPS/FPS-R, the VRS, the 0-10 NRS, and the VAS. Furthermore, simpler pain measurement tools tend to be favored over more complicated tools. Keywords: aging; elderly; geriatrics; older; pain measurement; pain measurement tools
