For too long the focus has been on short term, symptomatic, and surrogate indicator outcomes. Yet RA is a life-long disor der with the majority of impact on an individual patient many years following onset. Further, even in the short-term, researchers and rheumatologists have tended to emphasize measurements of disease activity such as joint counts, ESR and physi cian's opinion as to the amount of disease activity present.

With an emphasis on this modality, this volume explores several topics related to the treatment of patients with the autoimmune form of arthritis known as rheumatoid arthritis.

Psychosociale zorg bij chronische ziekten
Psychosociale zorg voor mensen met een chronische ziekte heeft zich de afgelopen jaren sterk ontwikkeld. Tal van psychologische interventies zijn op hun effectiviteit getoetst. In dit boek, voor psychologen in de gezondheidszorg, wordt een breed scala van chronische somatische ziekten behandeld: MS, hart- en vaatziekten, darmziekten, respiratoire aandoeningen, reumatische aandoeningen, eczeem, diabetes mellitus, epilepsie en kanker. Per hoofdstuk wordt beschreven waaruit de psychosociale problematiek bestaat, welke interventies hiervoor zijn ontwikkeld en wat het effectonderzoek hiernaar heeft opgeleverd. Ook besteden de auteurs ruim aandacht aan ziektegenerieke onderwerpen, zoals psychoeducatie, zelfmanagement, leefstijlveranderingen, comorbiditeit en individuele verschillen. Het afsluitende hoofdstuk schetst een aantal belangrijke nieuwe ontwikkelingen. Hiermee geeft dit boek een actueel overzicht van een zich snel ontwikkelend praktijk- en onderzoeksveld, dat een belangrijke bijdrage levert aan de kwaliteit van leven van mensen met een chronische ziekte.
