Summary

increasing the prevalence of exercise models designed in accordance with the biopsychosocial model is very important in terms of ensuring the sustainability of these models with telerehabilitation in periods such as epidemics and pandemics. The aim of this study was to investigate the effects of a biopsychosocial exercise model provided via telerehabilitation in individuals with rheumatic diseases during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Detailed description

Telerehabilitation was applied to the group with rheumatism in 3 sessions a week for 24 weeks via a social texting program. The intervention sessions consisted of 10 minutes of dance therapy-authentic movement, 40 minutes of exercises, and 10 more minutes of dance therapy. This exercise content was based on a biopsychosocial model, named the Cognitive Exercise Therapy Approach (BETY) which was used in the study, and it was a method that patients already practiced before the pandemic. At the beginning, at the 12th week and 24th week, the Health Assessment Questionnaire (HAQ), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS), the BETY Biopsychosocial Questionnaire (BETY-BQ) were applied.
