Assessed with RAND Short Form 36 (SF36). The 36 items in the questionnaire are grouped into eight subscale scores: physical functioning, role limitations caused by physical problems, bodily pain, general health, energy/vitality, social functioning, role limitations caused by emotional problems and mental health. The subscale scores range from 0-100, the higher score, the better health related quality of life.

Assessed with EQ-5D-5L. The questionnaire comprises five dimensions: mobility, self-care, usual activities, pain/discomfort and anxiety/depression. Each dimension has 5 levels: no problems, slight problems, moderate problems, severe problems and extreme problems. The patient is asked to indicate his/her health state by ticking the box next to the most appropriate statement in each of the five dimensions. This decision results in a 1-digit number that expresses the level selected for that dimension. The digits for the five dimensions can be combined into a 5-digit number that describes the patient's health state.

The EQ VAS records the patient's self-rated health on a vertical visual analogue scale, where the endpoints are labelled 'The best health you can imagine' and 'The worst health you can imagine'. The VAS can be used as a quantitative measure of health outcome that reflect the patient's own judgement.

Assessed with the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI). The PSQI consists of 19 self-rated questions which assess a wide variety of factors relating to sleep quality, including estimates of sleep duration and latency and of the frequency and severity of specific sleep related problems. The 19 items are grouped into seven component scores, each weighted equally on a 0-3 scale. The seven component score are then summed to yield a global PSQI score which has a range of 0-21; higher scores indicate worse sleep quality.

Assessed with self-efficacy for arthritis (A-SES-S). A-SES is a self-efficacy questionnaire that contains 20 questions and measure a paitent's self-efficacy in three categories: capacity to handle pain, function and other symptoms. A total score between 10 and 100 is calculated, were a high total score indicates a high self-efficacy. The three categories can also be calculated separately and divided in number of questions also resulting of a score between 10 and 100. In the study we will analyze the categories "capacity to handle pain" and "other symptoms".
