Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<br> 1. Goal attainment and health related quality of life measured by the Patient Generated Index (PGI).<br><br> PGI is an individualised instrument which is completed in three stages:<br> 1.1. In stage one the respondent is asked to identify up to five important areas of their life that are affected by their rheumatic disease.<br> 1.2. In stage two the respondents is asked to rate these areas on a numeric rating scale from 0 - 6 where 0 = as bad as could possibly be, and 6 = as good as could possibly be.<br> 1.3. In stage three, respondents are asked to distribute ten points to indicate the relative importance of each of the areas described in stage one, with most points allocated to the most important areas.<br><br> The PGI may thereafter serve as a basis for developing individual rahabilitation goals, and the scores and re-scorings to evaluate attainment of these goals.<br>

Secondary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
<br> 1. The Arthritis Self-Efficacy Scales (ASES) for pain and symptoms<br> 2. Pain and fatigue measured on Numeric Rating Scales (NRS)<br> 3. Other aspects of health related quality of life measured by the SF-36 domains Bodily Pain (BP), Role Physical (RP), Mental Health (MH), Vitality (VT), General Health (GH), Role Emotional (RE) and Social Functioning (SF).<br> 4. In addition data on health care resource allocation and costs will be collected<br> The data will be collected at baseline, discharge and follow-up at 26 weeks and 52 weeks after discharge.<br>
