ABSTRACT
AIMS:
To examine physical functions, activity, and participation level, and associated factors with participation in children with juvenile idiopathic arthritis (JIA) across the International Classification of Functioning Disability and Health-Children and Youth.METHODS:
49 children (Girl/Boy28/21) aged between 7 and 18 years (Mean 13.4 ± 3.3) were included. To evaluate body structure/functioning; pain, fatigue, disease activity, and motor functions were assessed. Childhood Health Assessment Questionnaire and Juvenile Arthritis Biopsychosocial and Clinical Questionnaire were used to determine activity level. Child and Adolescent Scale of Participation was used to assess participation.RESULTS:
Mild level of pain (2.0 ± 2.3), disease activity (2.0 ± 2.3), and fatigue (4.1 ± 4.0) were recorded. Decrease in motor functions was determined in 75% of children, while 61% of whom had activity-related disability. There was mild to moderate participation restrictions, and participation was significantly associated with age (r = -0.29), pain severity (r = -0.31), disease activity (r = -0.39), motor functions (r = 0.33), and activity level (r = -0.43), (p Ë 0.05).CONCLUSIONS:
Majority of children with JIA have deteriorations in physical functions, activity, and participation. Age, pain, disease activity, motor functions and activity level were associated with participation level. Children with JIA should be regularly evaluated multi-directional and they should be referred to rehabilitation programs to increase functionality and participation.Palabras clave
