An Investigation into the Scale and Impact of Self ‐Reported Foot Problems Associated with Systemic Lupus Erythematosus: A Study Protocol and Survey Questionnaire Development

DiscussionThe questionnaire will be used for a study which aims to identify the frequency of patients’ self‐reported foot problems, the impact of foot problems on their lives and the status of foot care provision. This will be achieved through a survey of people with SLE across six clinical sites and interviews with some people in order to explore their experience of foot problems. The results from the present study will provide the information required to inform further research. In addition, it could potentially inform the design and delivery of foot health information and services to this patient group. Copyright © 2015 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.
