“…Increased levels of depression, anxiety and psychological distress, and reduced mental health were all found to be bivariately associated with increased levels of fatigue. The correlation coefficient values for this association ranged between 0.15 (Barlow et al, 2002; negative affect) and 0.79 (Ibn Yacoub et al, 2012;mental health). One study (Fifield et al, 1998), found mixed results at a bivariate level.…”

Fatigue is common and debilitating in Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA). A focus on the psychological variables associated with fatigue may help to identify targets for intervention which could enhance the treatment of fatigue in RA. The purpose of this review was to systematically identify psychological variables related to fatigue in RA, with the overall aim of suggesting evidence-based targets for fatigue intervention in RA. Twenty-nine studies met inclusion criteria and were included in the narrative synthesis. A wide range of psychological variables were addressed, spanning 6 categories: affect and common mental disorders; RArelated cognitions; non-RA-related cognitions; personality traits; stress and coping; and social support/interpersonal relationships. The most consistent relationship was found between mood and fatigue, with low mood frequently associated with increased fatigue. Some evidence also highlighted the relationship between RA-related cognitions (such as RA selfefficacy) and fatigue, and non-RA-cognitions (such as goal ownership) and fatigue. Limited evidence was found to support the relationship between stress and coping or personality traits and fatigue, although mixed evidence was found for the relationship between social support and fatigue. The results of this review suggest the interventions for fatigue in RA may benefit from a focus on mental health, and disease-related cognitions.

This paper presents a comprehensive review of research relating psychological domains with response to therapy in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. A holistic approach to the disease was adopted by incorporating not only disease activity but also dimensions of the impact of disease on patients' lives. Psychological distress, including depression and anxiety, is common among patients with rheumatoid arthritis and has a significant negative impact on response to therapy and on patients' abilities to cope with chronic illness. Evidence regarding the influence of positive psychological dimensions such as acceptance, optimism, and adaptive coping strategies is scarce. The mechanisms involved in these interactions are incompletely understood, although changes in neuro-endocrine-immune pathways, which are common to depression and rheumatoid arthritis, seem to play a central role. Indirect psychological influences on therapeutic efficacy and long-term effectiveness include a myriad of factors such as adherence, placebo effects, cognition, coping strategies, and family and social support. Data suggest that recognition and appropriate management of psychological distress may improve response to treatment and significantly reduce disease burden.

“…Positive effects of self-management TPE for CVD patients were apparent in many of the studies; however, similar to other studies, 4,13,[158][159][160][161] precise or standard descriptions of the TPE components were often limited, which made it difficult to Multiple modes of TPE delivery can be used strategically to meet needs of patients. For example, initial TPE session could be integrated into scheduled clinic visit, whereas subsequent follow-up could be delivered by telehealth modalities (eg, telephone, video conferencing, telemonitoring), including commercially available platforms for coaching and telemonitoring self-management.…”

A lthough the overall rate of death associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) continues to decline in the United States, [1][2][3] CVD is a leading cause of mortality and disability. The burden of CVD remains high, underscoring the need to improve long-term management of CVD as a chronic illness. Effective implementation of current treatment guidelines for primary and secondary prevention of CVD relies heavily on patient knowledge and engagement in carrying out the plan of care. Healthcare reforms have increasingly shifted the responsibility for self-management to patients and families as hospital stays and ambulatory visits have become shorter and less frequent.Background-The burden of cardiovascular disease as a chronic illness increasingly requires patients to assume more responsibility for their self-management. Patient education is believed to be an essential component of cardiovascular care; however, there is limited evidence about specific therapeutic patient education approaches used and the impact on patient self-management outcomes. Methods and Results-An integrative review of the literature was conducted to critically analyze published research studies of therapeutic patient education for self-management in selected cardiovascular conditions. There was variability in methodological approaches across settings and disease conditions. The most effective interventions were tailored to individual patient needs, used multiple components to improve self-management outcomes, and often used multidisciplinary approaches. Conclusions-This synthesis of evidence expands the base of knowledge related to the development of patient selfmanagement skills and provides direction for more rigorous research. Recommendations are provided to guide the implementation of therapeutic patient education in clinical practice and the design of comprehensive self-management interventions to improve outcomes for cardiovascular patients.
