Abstract
AIM: To explore HPs' perceptions of working on lifestyle management for patients with early rheumatoid arthritis (RA).
METHODS: In this qualitative study, individual interviews were conducted with 20 HPs. Qualitative content analysis was used, and three categories and six subcategories were identified.
RESULTS: HPs' perceptions of working on lifestyle management for patients with early RA revealed a need for commitment from different levels. This included commitment from healthcare managers and organizations prioritizing work on lifestyle management and providing competence development for HPs. Commitment within the team regarding coordination of interdisciplinary teamwork and development of a structured lifestyle management approach, and commitment to involving patients in lifestyle management, by facilitating patient engagement and a person-centred approach.
CONCLUSIONS: HPs' perceptions of working on lifestyle management for patients with early RA revealed that commitment from healthcare managers, organizations, and the interdisciplinary team was essential to facilitate collaboration, patient involvement, and a person-centred approach.
