ClinConnect Summary

This clinical trial is studying a new questionnaire called the Inflammatory Arthritis Facilitators and Barriers to Physical Activity (IFAB) Questionnaire. The goal of this questionnaire is to understand what helps or stops children with certain rheumatic diseases, like juvenile idiopathic arthritis and juvenile dermatomyositis, from being physically active. Being active is very important for these children to help manage their conditions and reduce health risks. The researchers want to make sure that this questionnaire is both valid (measuring what it’s supposed to measure) and reliable (giving consistent results over time).

To participate in this study, children aged 12 to 18 who have been diagnosed with juvenile idiopathic arthritis, juvenile dermatomyositis, or juvenile fibromyalgia syndrome by a pediatric rheumatologist can volunteer. They must be living in Turkey and not have any significant vision or hearing problems that would prevent them from understanding the questionnaire. The trial is not yet recruiting participants, but once it starts, those who join will help contribute to important research that could lead to better support for children facing these challenges.
