The focus of this investigation was to determine if health status variables such as pain and functional limitations are correlated with an individual's occupational profile (work, activities of daily living and leisure), and psychological adjustment (depression, anxiety and dissatisfaction with life). This study reports our findings for 143 individuals with rheumatoid arthritis (RA). It would appear from the results of this study that functional limitations have an even greater impact on individuals with RA than pain. This findings and its implications are discussed.
本调查的重点是确定疼痛和功能受限等健康状况变量是否与个体的职业概况（工作、日常生活活动和休闲）以及心理调适（抑郁、焦虑和对生活的不满）相关。本研究报告了我们对143名类风湿性关节炎（RA）患者的研究结果。从这项研究的结果来看，功能受限对RA患者的影响似乎比疼痛更大。本文讨论了这一发现及其影响。
