Patients will be asked to fill out the questionnaires to evaluate their functional status and distress levels.\n\nDemographic data such as age, gender, body mass index and disease duration will be recorded during routine follow-up of the patients. The duration of morning stiffness, the number of swollen and tender joints, disease activity and functional status will be evaluated by the doctor. Disease activity will be evaluated with the DAS 28 score and functional status will be evaluated with the Health Assessment Questionnaire.

Rheumatoid Arthritis Distress Scale (RADS) will be used to evaluate the distress due to rheumatoid arthritis.\n\nDAS28 score is a score calculated by a mathematical formula based on the patient's swollen and tender joint counts, erythrocyte sedimentation rate and the patient's global assessment of disease activity.\n\nThe Health Assessment Questionnaire consists of twenty items and evaluates the degree of difficulty patients have in performing daily living activities. The total score varies between 0 and 3, with a higher score indicating a more serious impact on daily functional status.\n\nRheumatoid Arthritis Distress Scale (RADS) is a scale developed to evaluate the psychological distress experienced in patients with rheumatoid arthritis due to the effects of the disease.
