Purpose : This study aims to analyze the outcome of exercise programs for Rheumatoid Arthritis patients and its tendency with network analysis.
Method : 30 articles from Medline search of foreign nursing journals(1966-2002) and 5 from three Korean nursing journals(1970-2002) were surveyed. The contents analyses were focused on outcome measures and network analysis of exercise program.
Results : Exercise programs results in improving muscle strength(91.7%) aerobic capacity(72.9%) and 50 feet walk time (57.3%) Among several exercise water exercise and Tai-chi are in the middle of weight-bearing exercise. In the experimental design non-randomized control trials were 40% and the functional status of subjects were not classified in 40% of the articles surveyed.
Conclusion : Considering the results muscle strength aerobic capacity and 50 feet walk time were tested as valid outcome measures. Tai-chi exercise could be recommended as proper exercise for Rheumatoid artiritis patients because of its low intensity of weight-bearing exercise. In terms of research methods the randomized trials and functional classifications of rheumatoid arthritis should be done more strictly.
