Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify factors associated with trust in health care professionals among patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Methods: Subjects for this study were 247 patients registered in general hospitals and the period of data collection was from February 25 to May 20, 2014. The data were analyzed with t-test and ANOVA. Results: The mean of trust in health care professionals was 3.11 in patients. There were significant differences in trust in health care professionals by age, marriage, and executing exercise of patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Conclusion: Trust in health care professionals among patients with rheumatoid arthritis was important to manage rheumatoid arthritis. To promote trust in health care professionals among patients with rheumatoid arthritis, subjects' age, marriage state and executing exercise in their daily living should be considered.

The purpose of this study was to validate translated Multidimensional Assessment of Fatigue(MAF) scale. The scale is a 16-item scale that measures four dimensions of fatigue : severity, distress, impact, timing. Fourteen items are numerical rating scales and 2 items have multiple choice responses. Data were collected from the 137 patients with rheumatoid arthritis after content validation. Criterion validity was tested by correlation coefficient with Piper Fatigue Scale, which resulted in 0.7573(p<.0000). Construct validity was tested by item analysis and factor analysis. Corrected item-total correlation coefficients were 0.63-0.88. And factor analysis showed 2 factors : fatigue degree factor and fatigue impact factor. These two factors explained 73.5% of total variance. Reliability of internal consistency was 0.96 in Cronbach's alpha. Further validation study is necessary in each factor in other settings with other subjects.

Methods : These patients were treated by acupuncture, moxibution and herb medication. Results : The conditions of patients were improved with oriental medicine even if they had stopped DMARDs.
