Summary

This study tested whether nurse-led consultations can help people with rheumatoid arthritis become more independent in managing their subcutaneous biotherapy. Many patients struggle to recognize warning signs and delay seeking help. The study enrolled 71 adults with rheumatoid arthritis who had been on biotherapy for at least 6 months. Researchers measured changes in a safety skills score before and after the nurse consultation.
