Perspectives of Rheumatologists on the Type 1 and 2 Systemic Lupus Erythematosus Model

Objective The Type 1 and 2 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) Model was developed to encapsulate all signs and symptoms that patients with SLE experience. Our previous qualitative work demonstrated the model accurately reflects the lived experience of people living with SLE. The objective of this st...

description Objective The Type 1 and 2 systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) Model was developed to encapsulate all signs and symptoms that patients with SLE experience. Our previous qualitative work demonstrated the model accurately reflects the lived experience of people living with SLE. The objective of this study was to present the Type 1 and 2 SLE Model to rheumatologists to understand how the model fits with their experiences treating patients with SLE. Methods We conducted a qualitative descriptive study using semistructured interviews with rheumatologists. Rheumatologists were asked about their general impression of the Type 1 and 2 SLE Model, how the model does or does not fit within their approach to treating patients with SLE, the utility of the model in clinical practice, and any suggested changes. Applied thematic analysis identified salient themes. Results We interviewed 13 rheumatologists. The majority of rheumatologists approved of the model and found it useful to guide therapy and clinical decision‐making. Several rheumatologists thought the model was helpful for patient education to manage expectations about differences between Type 1 and Type 2 symptoms and treatments. A few rheumatologists expressed concern that the model could lead to an overdiagnosis of SLE. Conclusion The Type 1 and 2 SLE Model was accepted by most rheumatologists interviewed and welcomed as a useful approach to identifying and treating symptoms in patients with SLE. Future studies will determine how implementing the Type 1 and 2 SLE Model affects patient understanding, the physician–patient relationship, and clinical outcomes.
