SECTION 1 SETTING THE SCENE. This section provides an overview of the musculoskeletal system and the immune system and describes how rheumatic conditions affect them. A chapter is also devoted to the different investigations that are used to diagnose and assess the patient. The central role of the nurse caring for the rheumatic patient is discussed and the benefi ts of adopting a therapeutic rather than an exclusively supportive framework is advocated. The expanding role of the nurse within the speciality is explored, including the role of the consultant nurse, nurse-led clinics and academic nursing roles. 1 The Principles, Practice and Evolution of Rheumatology Nursing (Sarah Ryan and Jackie Hill). 2 The Musculoskeletal System and the Rheumatic Diseases (Valerie Arthur and Jackie Hill). 3 The Immune System and Rheumatic Disease (Susan Oliver). 4 Biochemical, Haematological and Clinical Assessments in the Rheumatic Diseases (Jackie Hill) SECTION 2 ADDRESSING THE PATIENT'S PROBLEMS. People who have rheumatic diseases encounter many physical, psychological and social problems. This section will highlight the problems and this will enable the nurse to address them systematically using effective methods of intervention. A model based on patient problems is used as a framework to provide a logical and structured approach to care. 5 The Psychological Aspects of Rheumatic Disease (Sarah Ryan). 6 The Effects of Rheumatic Disease on Body Image and Sexuality (Jackie Hill). 7 The Social Implications of Rheumatic Disease (Sarah Ryan). 8 Pain and Stiffness (Jackie Hill). 9 Fatigue and Sleep (Christine White). 10 The Skin and Nutrition (Naomi Reay, Sally Smith and Jill Byrne). SECTION 3 THERAPEUTIC INTERVENTIONS. The multifaceted nature of rheumatic diseases requires a combination of therapies. In addition to conventional treatments such as drug therapy and surgery, this section includes complementary therapeutic interventions such as aromatherapy and acupuncture. Continuing the theme of empowering and working in partnership with the patient, this chapter is underpinned by a chapter on patient education. 11 Multidisciplinary Team Care of the Rheumatic Patient (Pauline Fitzgerald). 12 Medications in the Rheumatic Diseases (Jo White and Domini Bryer). 13 Complementary Interventions (Anne Cawthorn and Peter Mackereth). 14 Surgical Interventions (Maureen Cox). 15 Patient Education (Jackie Hill). SECTION 4 PRIMARY AND PAEDIATRIC CARE. A person with a rheumatic disease is often cared for in both the primary and secondary sector. This 'shared care' makes an important contribution to the patient's well-being but requires adequate support mechanisms to function effi ciently. The factors necessary to implement effective shared-care schemes are discussed in detail. The fi nal chapter concerns children and young people. Although children with rheumatic diseases share many of the problems faced by adults, they and their families also confront many discrete additional problems. The chapter on paediatric care provides a description of the classification of Juvenile Idiopathic Arthritis and its treatments, and describes the educational and psychological needs of this vulnerable group. 16 Seamless Primary and Secondary Care (Mandy Edwards). 17 Paediatric Care (Gill Jackson).
