Abstract:
Over 26 million U.S. citizens have a form of arthritis; osteoarthritis (OA) is the most common form. Self-efficacy (SE) is defined as a psychological construct which identifies an individual's confidence when performing a behavior. SE is deemed a vital judge of self-management (SM) in those with OA. The purpose of this evidence-based practice, quality improvement project was to improve SE in OA patients. The identified gap in nursing practice was the lack of SE in OA patients. The project question asked whether a toolkit with information regarding SE in OA can improve SE of management of disease-associated symptoms in adults with OA as evidenced by improved Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scale (ASES) scores pre- to post-program. Concepts and theory used to inform the doctoral project were SE, pain, SM and OA, and Bandura's theory of SE. The sources of evidence were obtained from a variety of peer-reviewed journals related to OA management, and the outcome was measured using the ASES. Thirty-five participants (16 males and 19 females) with a mean age of 62 from a physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic in San Antonio, Texas participated in the project. The National Institute of Arthritis and Musculoskeletal and Skin Disorders 2015 Handout on Health: OA was used as the SE OA toolkit. Mean scores from pre- and post-program were tabulated and compared to determine the outcome. Results showed improved ASES levels by 11.84%. Implications for nursing practice and positive social change include the enhancement of SE levels, which can improve compliance in SM by use of a toolkit and further as policy implementation for OA patients to improve SE and SM abilities.

Full text
Abstract:
Introduction: Chronic joint (CJ) pain is the foremost osteoarthritis (OA) symptom that affects older African Americans’ (AAs) functional ability. Every effort should be made to reduce the development of high-impact chronic pain. One way to effectively do this is for older AAs to consistently engage in self-management utilizing the recommended OA treatments. Recommended behaviors include land-based exercise, water-based exercise, strength (muscle and endurance) training and stretching, self-management education, analgesic medications, thermal (warm/cool) modalities, and use of assistive and/or orthotic devices. However, evidence suggests these core behaviors of chronic pain self-management are not optimally utilized in older AAs. Methods: A convergent, parallel mixed-methods study explored patterns, preferences, and predictors of stage of engagement (pre-contemplation, preparation, or action) in recommended OA and CJ self-management behaviors. One hundred ten AAs aged 50 and older from communities in north Louisiana completed quantitative surveys, and a subset of 18 participated in audio-recorded qualitative interviews. Using SPSS, multinomial and binomial regression were used to build predictive models to determine which contextual and cognitive factors predict stage of engagement in each recommended and complementary OA self-management behaviors. A qualitative descriptive approach underscored a conventional content analysis of qualitative data. Results: Older AAs were “dealin’ with it [pain]” in a variety of ways, and their experience of having OA and CJ pain was based on their ability and willingness to bear the pain, understand the nature of OA pain, and experience life with daily pain. These dimensions of dealin’ with pain acted as a catalyst for engagement in complementary and recommended behaviors. In addition, participants’ and providers’ cultural receptivity may limit or enable engagement in certain recommended evidence-based OA behaviors. Specifically, each recommended OA self-management behavior was associated with different predictors of engagement. Confidence to manage pain was a predictor for land-based exercise, while there were no factors associated with water-based exercise. The most reasonable explanation for this finding of lack of participation in water-based exercise is likely due to inability to swim and lack of access to a personal or community pool. Engagement in strength training was significantly associated with confidence, knowledge of strength training recommendation, motivation, pain interference, and spirituality. For self-management education, only knowledge of self-management education recommendation was a predictor. Most AA older adults were unaware that this was recommended or didn’t have access to a self-management program; subsequently the majority had never participated in such but were in the preparation stage. Predictors for medication use included confidence, knowledge, and pain interference. Almost all AAs were using either over-the-counter or prescribed medications. Use of thermal modalities was predicted by pain interference. Lastly, using assistive and/or orthotic devices was significantly associated with employment status, OA pain severity, pain interference, and perceived social support. Assistive and/or orthotic device use was evenly split between users and non-users. Pain interference emerged as the most salient factor predicting stage of engagement in any of the recommended behaviors. Depending on the specific behaviors, pain interference prevented or motivated engagement. Conclusion: OA and CJ pain is a significant symptom in older AAs. This study’s mixed method approach uncovered what older AAs do to manage pain. More specifically, these results illuminate the daily patterns and preferences for self-management. We identified specific barriers and motivators that influence engagement in OA self-management behaviors, and determined the most relevant predictors for each stage of engagement. In addition, we were able to develop a model of OA and CJ pain self-management based on the predictors.

Abstract:
Knee osteoarthritis (OA) is a common chronic disease that leads to knee pain, stiffness and limited physical function. A multi-faceted treatment composed of medication management, exercise, health education, and weight control is identified as effective for the reduction of knee pain and increased physical function. This quasi-experimental study undertaken in rural Thailand had an interrupted time-series design and examined whether a multi-faceted intervention delivered by nurse practitioners resulted in improved health status regarding knee OA symptom, quality of life and satisfaction with nursing care and reduced medication usage compared to standard treatment. There were 108 participants (58 experimental, 58 control) who completed the study. The multi-faceted intervention included education, group exercise, weight loss, and medication management delivered over aI2-week period. Four time points were used across the study (weeks 1 and 4 pre-intervention and 16 and 20 post-intervention) to collect data including the Western Ontario and McMaster Universities Arthritis Index (WOMAC), Self-Form 36 (SF-36), Leeds Satisfaction Questionnaires (LSQ) and medication usage diary. Analysis of variance and non-parametric analyses were used to examine differences across time and t-tests and mean change differences were used to examine the group differences pre- and post- intervention. The experimental group reported significant mean change increase in LSQ score and a mean change decrease in medication usage than the control group post-intervention. This supported the hypotheses that the multi-faceted intervention delivered by nurse practitioners would result in greater satisfaction with nursing care and a reduction in medication usage than standard treatment among patients with knee OA. There were no significant mean change differences in the WOMAC and SF-36 scores between the groups. However, both groups reported improvement in WOMAC and SF-36 scores so it is probable that both treatments helped to maintain health status and quality of life.

Abstract:
Osteoarthritis (OA) is a debilitating chronic illness that can prevent older adults from accomplishing their activities of daily living or ambulate without pain. The project's purpose was to develop and disseminate multidisciplinary educational practice guidelines to nurses for use in older homebound male Veteran's Administration OA patients to improve home-based pain management and self-care preventative strategies. Orem's theory of self-care management constituted the theoretical framework. The design was a quality improvement project and involved formation of 6 panels of interdisciplinary teams who reviewed the American Society of Anesthesiologist (ASA) and Osteoarthritis Research Society International (OARSI) guidelines. The ASA and OARSI guideline components were evaluated via a scoring sheet for pain control and self-management effectiveness for the OA patient. The panels assessed these treatment plans in terms of suitability, tolerance, and patient adherence for inclusion into the educational program. The panel members independently reviewed both sets of guidelines and then convened as a group to share their scores and reach a consensus on these guidelines, in the patient population served. Agreement of 85% among the panel members was needed for inclusion into the practice guideline. Based on the scoring results the panel concluded that the ASA and OARSI guidelines would likely improve pain control, functional ability, and psychological well-being essential to lifestyle modifications and OA symptoms management education program. The social impact of developing nursing practice guidelines for the self-management of OA pain in home-based settings will be manifested in better patient lifestyle and behavior modification leading to better symptom management.

Abstract:
The aim of this chapter is to provide nurses with the knowledge to be able to assess, manage, and care for people with bone conditions in an evidence-based and person-centred way. Bone conditions (a major category of musculoskeletal conditions) cover a wide spectrum of diseases, some of which may be considered mild and self-limiting, while others may have a significant impact upon the individual’s quality of life and ability to function. It is estimated that up to 30% of all GP consultations are about musculoskeletal complaints; many are age-associated, and population ageing will continue to increase this demand (Oliver, 2009). The chapter will focus on osteoporosis, hip fracture (perhaps the most serious and costly consequence of osteoporosis or osteopaenia), Paget’s disease, and osteoarthritis, respectively. The chapter will provide a broad overview of these common conditions, enabling a proactive approach to patient care within a multidisciplinary context, whether in the primary or secondary care setting. The nursing management of the symptoms and common health problems associated with bone conditions can be found in several Part 2 chapters, and these are highlighted throughout the chapter. Osteoporosis has been defined as:...A progressive systemic skeletal disease characterised by low bone mass and micro-architectural deterioration of bone tissue, with a consequent increase in bone fragility and susceptibility to fracture. (WHO, 1994)…The World Health Organization (WHO) has recommended a clinical definition of osteoporosis based on a bone mineral density (BMD) measurement of the spine or hip, expressed in standard deviation (SD) units called T scores. Using this definition, an individual is classified as having osteoporosis if his or her T score is ≤–2.5 SD at the spine or hip (WHO, 1994). It is estimated that osteoporosis occurs in approximately 3 million people in the UK, resulting in more than 230,000 fractures per annum, the most frequent being hip, vertebral body, and forearm fractures. In total, 75,000 hip fractures occur annually (British Orthopaedic Association, 2007), with the average age of incidence being 84 and 83 in men and women, respectively (National Hip Fracture Database, 2010).

Abstract:
This chapter addresses the fundamental nursing role in the management of mobility. Every nurse should possess the knowledge and skills to assess mobility needs, to select and implement evidence-based strategies to maintain mobility or assist mobility, and to review the effectiveness of these to inform any necessary changes in care. Mobility is the ability to move around independently. The most readily recognizable component of mobility is locomotion—the ability to walk. It includes transition from one position to another, which is necessary to allow walking to be incorporated into functional activities. Examples of transitions are moving from sitting to standing and from standing to lying down. Virtually all bodily systems are required for safe and effective mobility. Maintaining higher levels of physical activity has been associated with reduced mortality and morbidity from many common diseases (Gregg et al., 2003). People with higher levels of physical activity are less likely to suffer or die from cardiovascular disease (Kesaniemi et al., 2001), have reduced risk of all types of stroke (Wendel-Vos et al., 2004a; 2004b), gain less weight, are less likely to develop type 2 diabetes, breast or colon cancer, osteoarthritis, osteoporosis, falls, and depression (Kesaniemi et al., 2001; Thune and Furberg, 2001). Beneficial effects on cognition have also been documented, the most physically active having 20% lower risk of cognitive decline (Weuve et al., 2004; Yaffe et al., 2001). Maintaining good physical activity levels is associated with generalized well-being, and improved physical function, ability to perform activities of daily living, and walking distance. An active person is less likely to be disabled and is more likely to be independent. There is a lower incidence of depression in people who remain active, and physical activity is known to reduce the symptoms of clinical depression (Kesaniemi et al., 2001). For these reasons, it is important for nurses to promote the benefits of appropriate physical activity as part of their health promotion role. The American College of Sports Medicine and the American Heart Association recommends levels of physical activity required to maintain good health (Box 23.1).
