Children’s experiences of a support program during their first year with juvenile idiopathic arthritis

The results showed that JASP-1 successfully integrated contact through phone calls, visits, and medical and psychosocial support in a satisfactory and accessible way for children recently diagnosed with JIA. This provided them with a comprehensive sense of security. Our findings indicate that patient- and family-centered programs like JASP-1 not only have the potential to enhance and standardize care for children newly diagnosed with JIA but also to contribute to improved and equitable healthcare outcomes in the future.
