Sponsor: Kırıkkale University

View on ClinicalTrials.gov

Summary

The aim of this experimental study is to develop a mobile application for patients with rheumatoid arthritis based on evidence-based recommendations and to evaluate the effectiveness of the developed application. Research Questions 1. Is the mobile application developed for patients with rheumatoid arthritis effective in improving their quality of life? 2. Is the mobile application developed for patients with rheumatoid arthritis effective in reducing their disease activity? The researchers will enable the intervention group to use the mobile application in order to assess its effectiveness, while the control group will receive routine care throughout the study period. Participants in the intervention group will use the mobile application for 12 weeks. Changes in the parameters determined by the researchers will be examined before and after the usage period. Patients in the control group will be evaluated after the initial consultation and at the end of 12 weeks. At the conclusion of the study, the control group will also be provided access to the mobile application.
