NCT04015960 · Status: WITHDRAWN · Type: OBSERVATIONAL

No results posted yet for this study

Summary

Despite biologic drugs and improvements of inflammatory arthritis (IA) treatment, many patients with inflammatory arthritis still face increased absenteeism, reduced at-work productivity and report difficulties working and having to give up their jobs. Such professional limitation generates psychological stress and it felt generally as a premature social ageing.

"Making-it-Work" is an intervention developed in English speaking Canada, which aims at enabling both patients and employers to intervene early during the course of inflammatory arthritis to reduce possible problems at work, and to prevent sick leave and future work disability in the long term and improve well-being at work.

As part of the EVADE (Evaluation of the effectiVeness of an ADaptation of the Making it-Work intervention in a French Environment) project which aims at evaluating the effectiveness of an adaptation of the "Making-it-Work" intervention, to the French environment, the investigators propose :

1. to identify the problems faced at work due to IA, patients needs, motivations to continue working and strategies helpful for maintaining employment.
2. to develop a questionnaire to assess difficulties at work, needs for adaptations and support and motivations to work of patients with inflammatory arthritis.
