Abstract

The findings highlight a critical gap in the disease knowledge and medication adherence among RA patients in Nepal, emphasizing the urgent need for targeted educational and adherence-enhancing interventions. Tailored strategies focusing on older adults, individuals with low literacy, and rural populations are essential to improve health outcomes and support effective RA management in resource-constrained settings.
