Detailed description

Rheumatoid arthritis (RA) is a chronic, progressive, inflammatory, autoimmune disease of unknown etiology, mainly affecting synovial joints, causing loss of function. The main reason that directs RA patients to medical treatment is pain.

In order to identify and treat the painful condition, individual coping methods of the patient and the effectiveness of these methods should be evaluated. This study was planned to adapt the Vanderbilt Multidimensional Pain Coping Inventory into Turkish, to investigate its cultural adaptation, validity and reliability.
