Abstract
Coping with rheumatoid arthritis, a chronic pain condition that drastically affects one’s life, can be facilitated via an online social network (OSN). This study explored 986 initial posts from an RA OSN to examine emotional valence, support/information, and topic. Results will inform clinicians about patient needs regarding their RA experiences.
