This study investigated the efficacy of a six-week walking programfor adults with arthritis, delivered in both a group and self-directed format. Differing short-versus long-term effects on self-efficacy for pain and symptom management were found, highlighting the potential long-term benefits of self-directed arthritis interventions.

J Clin Nurs. doi: 10.1111/j.1365-2702.2011.04058.x. This study provided evidence that Tai Chi interventions can improve self-efficacy for pain, and important arthritis related-symptoms (i.e., pain, joint count, fatigue, strength, physical function, mood), in rheumatoid arthritis patients.

This study suggests that psychosocial arthritis interventions can lead to improvements in self-efficacy for pain and other symptoms, as well as important arthritis symptoms (e.g., pain, disability), in a non-Western sample of arthritis patients.

PM R. 2012. doi: 10.1016/j.pmrj.2012.04.012. This study suggests that engaging in aerobic warm-ups and strength training, regardless of focus on upper or lower body strength, prior to TKA can have benefits on arthritis symptoms (i.e., self-efficacy for pain and symptom management, pain, strength, mobility, pain, function, physical health related-quality of life) among OA patients, both before and after surgery.

The effect of an educational programme consisting of group and individual arthritis education for patients with polyarthritis-A randomised controlled trial. Patient Educ Couns. 2012;88:113-20. This study suggests that an arthritis education-based program may be less effective at improving self-efficacy and important arthritis outcomes compared with other behavioral/psychosocial interventions. The results demonstrated that there were no significant differences between the education and control groups on the majority of arthritis outcomes (e.g., pain, fatigue, physical functioning); however, the education intervention did lead to a slight improvement in self-efficacy for other symptom management and significant improvements in wellbeing.

Pain. 2012;153:1199-209. This study provided evidence that a paincoping skills protocol with behavioral and cognitive strategies for weight management can lead to significant improvements in important arthritis and weight outcomes in OA patients who are overweight or obese. Specifically, the results of this study showed that this intervention led to significantly greater increases in self-efficacy for pain and other symptoms of arthritis, as well as decreases in pain, physical disability, psychological disability, and weight, compared with pain-coping skills or behavioral weight-management strategies alone, or standard of care.

This study provided evidence for the efficacy of psychosocial arthritis interventions in a diverse sample of patients (i.e., African Americans, Hispanics, Non-Hispanic Whites). The results demonstrated that the Arthritis Foundation's Self Help Program had positive results among all race/ethnicity groups; however, the greatest overall treatment gains (e.g., improvements in self-efficacy for pain management, fewer arthritis symptoms) were found in the Hispanic patient population.
