what type of sampling is used in the article stress management for patient with RA
RA is a chronic autoimmune disease that targets the synovial membrane of diarthrodial joints affecting approximately 1% of the population
RA can cause joint damage, leading to intense disability, and an increased chance of mortality, even psychological stress.
n some studies, major psychological stressors-such as natural disasters, the death of a relative, or serious family illness-have been associated with increased synovial inflammation and exacerbation of autoimmune symptoms.
Hence in such cases the sampling is done to perform stress management for patient with RA
Furthermore we can apply path analysis testing a type of model which emphasize on the overall stress management training on pain and depression and indirect effects via change in cognitive-behavioral variables.
Decreases in pain and depression following stress management are the key focus of the therapy.
For this task a randomized sampling is performed applying Cognitive Behavioral Therapy.
At the same time patient counseling is very must.
