| description | Background and aim: Self-care is an important tool in controlling pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. The
aim of this study was to determine the use of the Orem self-care model on pain relief in patients with rheumatoid
arthritis.
Methods: This was a clinical trial performed on 60 patients with rheumatoid arthritis who referred to a
rheumatology clinic in Karaj during 2013-2015 (30 patients in the control group and 30 patients in the
intervention group), convenience sampling was done and subjects were divided into two groups randomly. Data
collecting tools were a demographic questionnaire which consisted of 19 questions and the Numeric Pain Rating
Scale. The data result was analyzed by SPSS version 19, using independent-samples t-test and Chi square test. P- value of less than 0.05 was considered significant.
Results: The mean age was 44.63±10.65 years, 90% were married and 35% had a high school diploma. The
results showed a significant difference in three measures of pain in the intervention group (p=0.001), while in the
control group, this difference was not significant (p=0.59).
Conclusion: According to the results, the Orem self-care model is effective in reducing pain in patients with
rheumatoid arthritis Therefore, applying the Orem self-care model is recommended to promote and maintain self- care behavior in patients with rheumatoid arthritis.
Trial registration: The trial was registered at the Iran Registry of Clinical Trials (http://en.irct.ir) with code
IRCT2014052517840N1.
