Development of an Educational Video for Self-Assessment of Patients with RA: Steps, Challenges, and Responses

Open access

Abstract

OBJECTIVES: The primary objective was to develop an educational video to teach patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) self-assessment of their disease activity. Secondary objectives were to validate the video, identify the challenges in producing it, and the responses to these challenges. METHODS: Rheumatologists from 7 Middle Eastern Arab countries (MEAC) discussed unmet needs in the education of patients with RA. They reviewed pre-existing educational audiovisual material and drafted the script for a new video in Arabic. The video was produced in collaboration with a technical team, then validated by patients using a standardized interview. At each step of production, challenges were identified. RESULTS: Twenty-three rheumatologists from MEAC identified unmet needs in patients' education. A video was produced, explaining the concepts of treat-to-target and showing a patient performing self-assessment using DAS-28. Sixty-two patients were interviewed for validation and found the video to be useful and easy to understand, albeit not replacing the physician's visit. Most common challenges encountered included acceptance of patient empowerment, agreement on DAS-28 as composite measure, production of a comprehensible written Arabic text, and addressing the population cultural mix. CONCLUSION: Despite challenges, the video was well accepted among patients and can be used for clinical and research purposes. It is particularly useful in pandemic periods where social distancing is recommended.

  • In Jordan, similar to numerous nations, computed tomography is progressively employed in emergency rooms and oncology treatments, mirroring global trends in high-dependency medical care.

    “In Jordan, similar to numerous nations, computed tomography is progressively employed in emergency rooms and oncology treatments, mirroring global trends in high-dependency medical care.”

    From Computed Tomography Diagnostic Reference Levels Worldwide and in Jordan: Implications for Patient Dose Reduction (2026) · cites this paper as [28]

    The Materials and Methods section mentions Jordan only as one of the countries whose rheumatologists participated in an RA patient-education project. The Discussion describes an educational video, not imaging use. Searches for computed tomography and CT scans in Jordanian emergency departments or oncology found no passage addressing the claimed trend. (LLM, conf=0.78)

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
