“…This study assessed the functional autonomy and quality of life of people with RA and the association between them, showing that the symptomatology of this disease is associated not only with physical deterioration but also with impaired emotional and psychological health and, consequently, impaired quality of life. The sample consisted mostly of women with a mean age of 65.46 years, which is consistent with other studies (Branco et al, 2016, Cunha et al, 2016, Santos et al, 2019.…”

“…The nosological implications of RA, such as pain, reduce functional autonomy, which inevitably influences quality of life and average life expectancy (Branco et al, 2016). Functional autonomy is moderately preserved in this sample given that 48.9% of participants had a mild disability and 43.2% had a moderate disability, which are results similar to those reported in other studies (Santos et al, 2019). This study found that some patients with RA were unable to perform activities such as reaching and grabbing objects, shopping, and doing errands.…”

“…Os autores sugerem o valor de oito (8) como ponto de corte, considerando os valores mais baixos como ausência de ansiedade e de depressão. Por outro lado, consideram que a severidade da ansiedade e da depressão pode ser classificada como "normal" (0-7), leve (8)(9)(10), moderada (11)(12)(13)(14)(15) e severa (16)(17)(18)(19)(20)(21). (13,16) Na avaliação da qualidade de vida das pessoas com AR, utilizou-se o questionário EQ-5D, que permite a combinação de dois componentes essenciais de qualquer medida de qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde a ser usada em avaliações econômicas de custo-utilidade: um perfil descrevendo o estado de saúde em termos de domínios ou dimensões; e um valor numérico associado ao estado de saúde descrito acima.…”

“…Caracteriza-se como um sentimento vago e inapelável de medo, apreensão, caracterizado por pressão ou incômodo oriundo da antevisão de um perigo e do desconhecido ou incomum. (10) A depressão está associada a elevados níveis de dor e incapacidade, menor qualidade de vida relacionada à saúde e aumento da mortalidade, (7,11,12) de modo que as entidades nosológicas em análise no curso de doenças crônicas carecem de avaliação, prevenção e, se necessário, tratamento.…”

“…Rheumatoid arthritis (RA), defined as a chronic, inflammatory, and autoimmune disorder, is characterized by synovial hyperplasia, inflammatory response, and the appearance of joint damage (Guermazi, Taouli, Lynch, & Peterfy, 2004; Johnson et al, 2002). RA patients frequently suffer from synovitis‐caused pain, which seriously decreases their life quality (Bai et al, 2020; Santos, Duarte, Ribeiro, Cantista, & Vasconcelos, 2019). Fibroblast‐like synoviocytes (FLS), one of the main cell types in the synovial tissues of RA patients, are key effector cells in RA development, promising to be therapeutic targets for RA treatment (Bottini, & Firestein, 2013; Mor, Abramson, & Pillinger, 2005).…”
