TI  - The Effect of Social Role Participation on Quality of Life in Rheumatoid Arthritis
AB  - Objective: The aim of this study was to explore the impact of social role participation on quality of life in rheumatoid arthritis (RA) patients. Material and Methods: This study was conducted on100 RA patients who applied to our outpatient clinic and 95 healthycontrols. The outcome measures included Visual Analogue Scale(VAS) (rest and activity pain), Disease Activity Score (DAS-28) Scale,Rheumatoid Arthritis Quality of Life Questionnaire (RAQoL), and Social Role Participation Questionnaire (SRPQ) (role limitations, salience,satisfaction). Results: There were statistically significant differencesin SRPQ role salience, SRPQ role limitation, and SRPQ role satisfaction scores between the RA patients and the healthy individuals(p<0.001). The RAQoL scores were positively correlated with SRPQlimitation scores and negatively correlated with SRPQ role satisfactionand SRPQ role salience scores (all, p<0.001). Negative correlationswere found between SRPQ scores (salience, satisfaction) and DAS-28and VAS (rest and activity pain) scores (all, p<0.05). Positive correlations were found between SRPQ role limitations scores and DAS-28and VAS (rest and activity pain) scores (all, p<0.05). There was no correlation between SRPQ domains scores and age or disease duration inRA patients (all, p>0.05). RAQoL was positively correlated with VAS(rest and activity pain) and DAS-28 scores (all, p<0.001). Conclusion:This study showed that there is an association between social role participation and quality of life in RA patients. So, it may be useful to takeinto account the evaluation of social role participation in the management of RA patients.
