| Scientific title | Long term and clinical impact of the Lifestyle Management for Arthritis Programme (LMAP) for people with inflammatory arthritis |
| Study acronym | Impact of the LMAP |
| Study objectives | There have been few long-term evaluations of health profession-led arthritis education programmes' (AEPs) impact on the health status of people with inflammatory arthritis. A randomised controlled trial (n = 167) of a modular group programme (the Lifestyle Management for Arthritis Programme [LMAP]) versus an information-based group AEP similar to typical UK practice identified, at 12-month follow-up, that the LMAP was significantly more effective in reducing pain and improving self-efficacy. The LMAP continues to run as part of our service delivery. We aim to investigate, using postal questionnaires: 1. The longer-term (6 year) effects of the LMAP and typical AEP on health status by following up trial participants 2. Investigate LMAP effectiveness in an uncontrolled setting in a 6 and 12 month observational study (n = 126) 3. Investigate participants' views of the LMAP using individual semi-structured interviews Results will be analysed to evaluate effects on adherence with health behaviours, pain, self-efficacy and functional, physical, psychological and disease status. |

| Health condition(s) or problem(s) studied | Topic: Musculoskeletal; Subtopic: Musculoskeletal (all Subtopics); Disease: Musculoskeletal |
| Intervention | Study 1: a long-term (6y) follow up of a previous clinical trial. Patients were randomised to receive the LMAP education programme or a standard arthritis education programme. The LMAP consists of 9 x 2.5 h group meetings: a first module of 4 meetings, a second module of 4 meetings approx. 3 months later and a final review or "booster meeting" 2 - 3 months later. Module 1 "Looking After Your Joints"consists of: information about arthritis and potential consequences, ergonomic approaches. Follow Up Length: 12 month(s) Study Entry: Registration only |
| Intervention type | Behavioural |
| Primary outcome measure(s) |
Pain using a 10 cm visual analgue scale (0 = no pain; 10 = pain as bad as it can be). Study 1: 6 years |
| Key secondary outcome measure(s) |
Study 1: All measurements at 6 year follow-up |
