Experiences and perceptions of patients with ankylosing spondylitis: A systematic review and meta-synthesis of qualitative studies.

ABSTRACT:

Objectives

The systematic evaluation of relevant qualitative studies on the experiences of patients with ankylosing spondylitis provides a foundation for the clinical development of personalized disease management programs for this patient category.

Methods

Multiple databases, including PubMed, Web of Science, Embase, Cochrane Library, CINAHL, Scopus, CNKI, Wanfang, CBM, and VIP, were searched for qualitative research literature on the experiences of patients with ankylosing spondylitis from the inception of databases to March 2024. Eligible studies were included, and quality was assessed using the quality evaluation standard of qualitative research at the Joanna Briggs Institute (JBI), Australia (2016). The results were integrated using the meta-aggregation approach.
