Abstract
Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, painful, and debilitating disease which affects approximately 1% of the adult population. A great deal of literature suggests that psychological factors are important to patient outcomes in RA. This article discusses these factors and then reviews the cognitive-behavioral treatment literature for this population. Although cognitive-behavioral treatments appear to assist RA patients in managing their pain, additional findings are inconsistent and methodological limitations in the literature preclude firm conclusions. A final section of this paper presents suggestions to improve the design of future studies evaluating cognitive-behavioral treatments for these patients.
期刊介绍：
Annals of Behavioral Medicine aims to foster the exchange of knowledge derived from the disciplines involved in the field of behavioral medicine, and the integration of biological, psychosocial, and behavioral factors and principles as they relate to such areas as health promotion, disease prevention, risk factor modification, disease progression, adjustment and adaptation to physical disorders, and rehabilitation. To achieve these goals, much of the journal is devoted to the publication of original empirical articles including reports of randomized controlled trials, observational studies, or other basic and clinical investigations. Integrative reviews of the evidence for the application of behavioral interventions in health care will also be provided. .
