Impact of Working From Home on the Psychological Well‐Being of 365 European Patients With Rheumatic Diseases During COVID‐19 Pandemic. Results of the REUMAVID Study
More than one-third of patients with RMDs worked from home during the pandemic. The lack of a calm and dedicated workspace was significantly associated with poor psychological well-being. Given the growing prevalence of remote work, understanding the conditions under which RMD patients work from home is critical. Rheumatologists should be aware that inadequate home working environments may negatively affect patients' mental health and consider this when advising on work arrangements.
