Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to explore the effect of patient education PE in patients with arthritis PE has become a task that is dictated by law in Norway and is increasingly used as an element in the treatment of patients with chronic complaints Our hypothesis is that

- PE delivered as group education followed by an individual nurse consultation increases the patients wellbeing an ability to cope with the disease
Detailed Description: There has been a rather long tradition of PE for patients with arthritis A recent systematic review found that PE had small short-term effects on disability joint counts patient global assessment psychological status and depression but this effect disappeared on the latest time of follow up 3-14 months A recent large British study also failed to show an effect on pain physical functioning or contact with primary care after 12 months but found a significant effect on anxiety and improved the participants perceived self efficacy This indicates that the present forms of interventions fails to show a long term effect One possible reason for the lack of long term effect might be that these interventions are given to groups only Patients seem to prefer one-to-one interaction regarding information about the disease and its treatment together with emotional aspects while education in groups are preferred for physical training and relational topics
