Patients’ perceptions of health-related quality of life in rheumatoid arthritis
Clinical Rheumatology, 07/02/09

Characteristic phrases were “to be totally independent, to have no pain, and to do things without thinking about the negative effects”; “to have no pain and control my moods and my illness has made me a little excitable”; and “to feel well enough to do things for myself”. Three representative typologies of patients were identified who differed clearly in their perceptions of HRQL.
