| Core Tip |
What is already known about this subject? Clinical research indicates that the introduction of biosimilars will not compromise either efficacy or safety for patients with rheumatic diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis. Unfortunately, there is a lack of knowledge and awareness regarding biosimilars among these patients. Very limited research of rheumatology patients’ knowledge, and awareness of biosimilars and shared decision-making, as well as motivation to learn more about these subjects exists. What does this study add? Consistently with several other studies, many patients attending rheumatology practices in Colorado have a low level of knowledge and awareness of shared decision-making and, especially, biosimilars. Moreover, most of these patients do not engage in important discussions regarding treatment plans or options with their doctors. As our survey respondents gained knowledge about biosimilars and shared decision-making from our printing materials it seems that educational programs enriched with printed materials may impact patients’ knowledge and awareness of biosimilars as well as shared decision-making. How might this impact on clinical practice or future developments? As we have become aware of which style of learning our survey respondents prefer regarding biosimilars and shared decision-making, we believe that prospective projects will benefit not only from booklets, but also from online presentations and webinars. Based on our current study results, we recommend adding more survey questions focused on shared decision-making such as discussing treatment plans and options with doctors. |
