| Brief Description |
This study aims to determine whether, for people with osteoarthritis of the knee, a specific program expressly (OAKP) implemented in a primary health care setting can achieve and maintain clinically meaningful improvements in more participants than the Stanford Arthritis Self-Management Program delivered in the same environment. |

| Brief Description |
It is a 40-item scale to assess the self-management needs of knee osteoarthritis, including three categories: monitoring and solving symptoms, seeking community resources, and making life adjustments and amendments. |
| Number of Items | 40 |
| Range | --- |
| Responses options/scale |
Yes 0-5 |
| Developed for | Not specified |
| PRACTICAL APPLICATION | |
| Method of administration | --- |
| Recommendations to score |
A 5-point Likert-type scale scored the responses (0 = extremely not needed to 4 = extremely needed) for the 40 items. They need to be added. |
| Score Interpretation | Higher scores indicated a greater level of self-management needs. |
| Cut-off points | --- |
| Cut-off points applied to | Not specified |
| Smallest detectable change if described | --- |
| Smallest detectable change applied to | --- |
| Completion time by the patient | - minutes |
| Scoring time by the assessor | - minutes |
| Training to score | Not necessary |
| Strengths | --- |
| Limitations | Not widely used |
