Quality of web-based information for osteoarthritis: a cross-sectional study

Assessment of the educational needs in patients with knee osteoarthritis in a latin american cohort

“…Not many studies have assessed patients' education needs in those affected with OA, and there is not much literature about the use of the SpENAT to assess the source to which patients get their information. Moreover, several studies have shown that standard education has limited results in the long-term treatment of inflammatory diseases, suggesting that there is a need for more patient-centered education, that could cover the specific ENs of the affected individual (15)(16)(17).

“…NICE (2015) guidelines recommend that healthcare professionals provide patients with accurate written and verbal information to enhance self-management and understanding of OA pathophysiology. However, research shows a vast inconsistency in OA information, particularly online content, making it difficult to consistently access high-quality information (Barrow et al, 2018).…”
