Abstract

RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS, among the rheumatic inflammatory diseases, is the most common one (1% prevalence in many societies and in Iran as well). Besides physical disorders, patients experience mental disorders. Between mental and physical signs, a defective cycle exists, as a result, disease can be stimulated by stress or emotional activities. In this research BENSON RELAXATION was used to control the disease activity. This study is an experimental clinical trial that was carried out in the rheumatology research clinic at Imam Khomeini hospital in Tehran during 2000-1(1376-80). The study population were 50 RHEUMATOID ARTHRITIS patients who were divided into two groups, (case =26 and control=24 persons). The case group were trained regarding BENSON RELAXATION individually by showing them video tapes and both groups were followed up for 8 weeks. In order to evaluate the effect of bens on relaxation, health assessment, laboratory findings (Hb, Pit, ESR, CRP, RF) well being, anxiety and depression were measured after and before the intervention in both groups. Statistical analysis showed no differences between the two groups in all of the research variables before the intervention. The mean of anxiety (p= 0.0001), depression (p=0.001), well being (p=0.001), in both groups showed a significant difference in the post intervention stage. Most factors related to health assessment and laboratory findings showed no significant differences. This study showed that BENSON RELAXATION can reduce DISEASE ACTIVITY INDEXES. In order to assess the role of other variables, another study with a greater sample size and intervention time is needed.
