Summary

Chronic inflammatory rheumatic diseases (CIRD), like all chronic somatic disease, can impair self-esteem and self-image in affected individuals. Numerous studies conducted in this population have confirmed this fact. Therapeutic patient education (TPE) programs aim to help patients acquire self-care and adaptive skills. However, there is a near-total absence of workshops specifically dedicated to self-image in TPE programs for CIRD. Such educational interventions have shown their effectiveness in contexts such as cancer and obesity. Our study aims to evaluate their effectiveness for patients with CIR.
