A computer based education (CBE) lesson was developed for patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and evaluated using a controlled experiment. There were statistically significant differences in the CBE group compared with controls in knowledge gained (p < 0.01), improved outlook on life (p < 0.01), hopefulness of a good prognosis (p < 0.01), decreased belief in the role of luck or fate in determining their health (p < 0.05) and reported increase in use of behaviors such as joint protection (p < 0.02) and rest (p < 0.05). The lesson was accepted and enjoyed by the patients.
