The main objective of the present study was to determine the relationship between kinesiophobia and pain (general and foot pain), foot function, and disease activity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). A total of 124 interviews were carried out with participants with RA. Participants were recruited from the Hospital Universitario Virgen de las Nieves de Granada in Spain. Interviews took place in January 2021. Participants completed the following questionnaires during an appointment with their rheumatologist: Foot Function Index (FFI), Tampa Scale for Kinesiophobia (TSK-11), and the Visual Analogue Scale Pain foot (VAS Pain). Furthermore, the Simplified Disease Activity Index (SDAI) was used to measure disease activity. Of the 124 participants, 73% were women, and their mean age was 59.44 years (SD 11.26 years). In the statistical analysis, positive linear correlations (p < 0.001) were obtained between the variables TSK-11 and VAS (related to general pain or foot pain) and FFI (in its three subscales). Additionally, a negative correlation between the TSK-11 and the educational background was shown. This study provided information about the relationship between foot function and pain with different levels of kinesiophobia in patients with RA. Additionally, the educational background of the patient was considered a predictor of whether or not a patient suffered from kinesiophobia.
本研究的主要目的是确定类风湿关节炎（RA）患者的运动恐惧症与疼痛（全身疼痛和足部疼痛）、足部功能和疾病活动之间的关系。对 124 名 RA 患者进行了访谈。参与者是从西班牙格拉纳达的 Virgen de las Nieves 大学医院招募的。访谈于 2021 年 1 月进行。参与者在与风湿病专家预约时完成了以下问卷：足部功能指数（FFI）、Tampa 运动恐惧症量表（TSK-11）和足部疼痛视觉模拟量表（VAS Pain）。此外，简化疾病活动指数（SDAI）用于衡量疾病活动。在 124 名参与者中，73%为女性，平均年龄为 59.44 岁（SD 11.26 岁）。在统计分析中，TSK-11 与 VAS（与全身疼痛或足部疼痛相关）和 FFI（在其三个子量表中）之间存在正线性相关（p<0.001）。此外，TSK-11 与教育背景之间存在负相关。本研究提供了有关 RA 患者不同程度运动恐惧症与足部功能和疼痛之间关系的信息。此外，患者的教育背景被认为是预测患者是否患有运动恐惧症的一个因素。
