Patient Strength of Preference for Best Practices in Patient Education

Abstract

Background: Patient education is important in healthcare. As such, EULAR, the European League Against Rheumatism, has created and published 8 evidence-based and expert-opinion-based recommendations for patient education. However, the relevance and relative importance of these recommendations to a general patient population are yet to be determined. Our study aimed to determine patients' strength of preference for the different EULAR recommendations for patient education.
