    Living with Osteoarthritis: patient workbook
    (2015) Parker, Romy; Saw, Melissa; Kruger-Jakins, Tina
    This is a workbook designed to be used over 6 weeks which aims to help people develop self-management skills for living with osteoarthritis. Using this workbook is not about sitting and reading or listening. In order to get the most out of using this workbook you will be asked to share your experiences, you will need to set goals and share those goals with others and you will need to take part in activities. This workbook is NOT a substitute for any other medical care that has been recommended for the treatment of your condition. You will benefit most from this workbook if you commit yourself to completing all the sessions within a 6 week period of time. Scientific research tells us that these courses are of great benefit to people living with chronic diseases such as arthritis. But to benefit from the course, using the workbook regularly over 6 weeks and participating in activities is essential.
