Hammer NM, Flurey CA, Jensen KV, et al. - This study was intended to evaluate preferences for self‐management and support services in patients with inflammatory joint disease (IJD) and whether these preferences differ by age, gender, diagnosis and disease duration. Researchers used nationwide cross‐sectional online survey for patients with rheumatoid arthritis, psoriatic arthritis and axial spondyloarthritis. Descriptive statistics to assess preferences and investigate for differences according to the different subgroups of patients. Six-hundred sixty-four patients were completed this questionnaire. The data exhibit that individuals with IJD report various requirements regarding self‐management and support services, including one‐to‐one services traditionally delivered as part of usual care, but also talks, physical activity, educational and online services.
