Özet
To evaluate the effect of continuity of care on health outcomes (quality of life and functionality) in patients with rheumatoid arthritis and to reveal whether treatment adherence and disease activity have a serial multiple mediator role on this relationship. Methods: The study was cross-sectional on 440 rheumatoid arthritis patients who applied to a university hospital rheumatology outpatient clinic. Research data were obtained from both the questionnaire method, which is the primary data source, and the patient files, which are the secondary data source. Process analysis was used in the analysis of the data. Results: It was found that the continuity of care has a direct effect on the quality of life and the functionality. In addition, it is seen that treatment adherence has a single partial mediator role on the relationship between continuity of care and quality of life; It has been determined that treatment adherence and disease activity have both partial single mediation and serial multiple mediation roles on the relationship between continuity of care and functionality. Conclusion: It is thought that these findings will provide clinicians with important data and information in the management of rheumatoid arthritis.
