Rheumatoid arthritis is a progressive, chronic, and degenerative disease that adversely affects the quality of life of individuals. Depending on the individual's symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis, basic and instrumental daily life activities are restricted, and participation of life is adversely affected. Occupational therapy interventions for rheumatoid arthritis rehabilitation include self-management programs (e.g., arthritis self-management program, bone up on arthritis, self-management arthritis treatment physical activity), splinting techniques for rheumatoid arthritis, and vocational rehabilitation. In this chapter, updated information about these approaches is brought together and presented to the reader.This chapter focuses on the rheumatoid arthritis and influences person's life. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) prevalence ranges from 0.3 to 1% of the adult population, and female-to-male prevalence ratio was 4:1 [10,13,14]. It is related to low-and middle-income countries [10,15,16].Rheumatoid arthritis affects people's life balance and their ability to perform work, leisure, self-care, and rest and sleep decreased [17][18][19]. In addition, they lose values of activity for their life so feel anxious and depressed and influence their health related quality of life [20][21][22].Occupational therapist works with not only pain or symptoms management in rheumatoid arthritis but also the prevention of functional limitations and adaptation to lifestyle changes improve emotional state and social participation to maintain independence in daily living activities [11,19,23]. Occupational therapy (OT) interventions especially focus on improving occupational performance which is negatively affected by rheumatoid arthritis. For this reason, occupational therapists use some approaches for improving occupational performance such as using behavioral change approach, energy conservation approach, relax renovation and pain control, fatigue management, maintain ındependence, adaptive device, and home adaptations in rheumatoid arthritis [9,24].

“…Occupational Therapy within the clinical area of Rheumatology has developed significantly over the past 30 years in tandem with the advancements in medical management of rheumatological conditions in particular inflammatory ones. The focus on joint protection and conservative management of conditions has moved into the work environment with the improved outcomes for IA patients providing better quality of life (Hammond, 2014). Occupational Therapy theory and frameworks provide a unique insight into considering a person's situation.…”

Introduction Inflammatory arthritis (IA) significantly impacts people's ability to continue in work roles, despite advances in medical management. Employment is acknowledged as important for health and wellbeing. Facilitating work participation and employment reduces social welfare dependence for income, minimising societal cost. Internationally, pathways and processes are developing to maintain people with acquired conditions in the workplace. Occupational Therapy supports this process, with its biopsychosocial approach, giving a framework to consider the complex dynamic of a person's vocational rehabilitation (VR) needs. A scoping review framework was chosen to explore the diverse VR process and emerging focus on Occupational Therapy's role in providing VR for the IA population. Methods The methodological framework for scoping reviews will be used to guide the process and structure of the scoping review. A search strategy will be implemented in all the major peer reviewed databases along with grey literature repositories for English language studies. Study selection will use the PRISMA‐ScR flow chart against an agreed eligibility criteria by two independent reviewers. Data extraction from the final selection will be mapped out using tables and a supporting descriptive review reflecting on the original scoping review aim and objectives completed. Dissemination Findings will be disseminated at all levels and in various formats to bring them to the attention of clinicians, researchers and policy makers as VR pathways are established and prioritised for the early IA population.
