“…The consensus of nursing experts for chronic inflammatory arthritis updated by the European Union Against Rheumatism in 2018 pointed out that nurses should ease patients' psychosocial problems and relieve their anxiety and depression symptoms (Bech et al., 2020), suggesting the important role of nurses in psychological intervention of RA patients. In recent years, mindfulness interventions as complementary therapies in clinical practice have been proved to significantly improve depression in patients with RA (Zhou et al., 2020). Better application of mindfulness interventions and other new nursing technologies should be a focus in the nursing research of rheumatoid arthritis with depression.…”

Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is a systemic autoimmune disease characterized by the chronic erosive arthritis, which causes a high disability rate (Zhou et al., 2013). The global incidence of RA is 0.5-1% (Smolen, Aletaha, & MeInnes, 2016). The aetiology and pathogenesis of this long-term progressive disease are complex, which may be related to both immune factors and the abnormality of synovial cells. RA is

“…Mindfulness is a form of meditation based on the ability to bring one's attention to what they are currently experiencing in the present moment, accepting it without judgement and identifying the sensations, emotions and thoughts [23]. This meditation is used as a therapeutic psychological treatment with positive results, reducing levels of anxiety, depression and stress, and alleviating physical symptoms such as pain as well as vulnerability due to psychiatric illnesses [24][25][26][27][28].…”

Emotional intelligence is an essential trait and skill for healthcare professionals. Mindfulness meditation has proved to be effective in increasing the wellbeing of those who practice it, leading to better mental health, self-care and job satisfaction. This paper aims to identify the recent evidence on the relationship between mindfulness and emotional intelligence among healthcare professionals and students. A systematic review was conducted including the databases PubMed, Cinhal, PsycINFO and Web of Science. The main variables were emotional intelligence skills and mindfulness practice. Data were extracted according to the following outcomes: authors, year of publication, country, study design, participants, mindfulness training intervention, tools used in data collection and main results. The following inclusion criteria were applied: peer-reviewed articles; published in English or Spanish; published between 2010 and 2020; quantitative methodology; a study population of healthcare professionals or students; the relationship with the aim of the study. The Joanna Briggs Institute criteria were followed for assessing the methodological quality of the selected studies. Three researchers were involved in the review. After the selection process, 10 studies were selected out of the 197 references initially identified. These studies revealed a positive relationship between mindfulness and emotional intelligence, particularly the capacity to regulate emotions. Furthermore, mindfulness is negatively related to emotional exhaustion. Training interventions based on mindfulness have proved to be useful in promoting emotional balance, emotional awareness, emotional acceptance, emotion recognition, expressive suppression and a reduction in emotional exhaustion. This study could serve as a basis for further research on the benefits of emotional intelligence and practicing mindfulness for the bio-psycho-social welfare of healthcare professionals.

“…This role of FCNE may be achieved by facilitating family communication, relieving misunderstandings and conflicts and supporting the maintenance of an enabling environment characterized by understanding and cooperation[ 31 , 32 ]. The effectiveness of mindfulness interventions for RA[ 33 ] also supported this speculation.…”

BACKGROUND Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a common autoimmune disease. Nursing education for family caregivers is considered a workable and effective intervention, but the validity of this intervention in RA has not been reported. AIM To explore whether family caregiver nursing education (FCNE) works on patients with RA and the factors that influence FCNE. METHODS In this randomized controlled study, a sample of 158 pairs was included in the study with 80 in the intervention group and 78 in the control group. Baseline data of patients and caregivers was collected. The FCNE intervention was administered to caregivers, and inflammation level indicators, disease activity indicators and mood disorder indicators of patients were followed up and analyzed. RESULTS Baseline characteristics of the intervention and the control groups had no significant difference. Indicators were significantly reduced in the intervention group compared to the control group. The intervention group showed significant differences in stratification of relationship, education duration and age. CONCLUSION The effect of FCNE on RA is multifaceted, weakening inflammation level, alleviating disease activity and relieving mood disorder. Relationship between caregiver and patient, caregiver’s education level and patient’s age may act as impact factors of FCNE.
