- Objective: The aim of this study was to analyse how support from significant others affects the associations between disease-related variables and sickness absence during the first 2 years after rheumatoid arthritis (RA) diagnosis. Method: Data from 274 people with RA (73% women) of working age (18-63 years) were retrieved from the Swedish early RA cohort TIRA-2. These data concerned disease-related variables (disease activity, activity limitations, pain intensity, and grip force), sickness absence, and perceived support from significant others. Associations of disease-related variables with sickness absence and how these associations were moderated by support from significant others were analysed using zero-inflated negative binomial regression. Results: During the 2 years after diagnosis, higher disease activity was significantly associated with increased odds of sickness absence, a connection strengthened by perceived support from family during the first year. More perceived support was also directly and significantly associated with increased odds of sickness absence during the first year. Conclusions: Support from significant others is related to sickness absence in RA, specifically during the first year after diagnosis. Although patients report high levels of support from significant others, this does not necessarily lead to more positive work outcomes. Therefore, it is important to consider other aspects of support that might influence work outcomes, e.g. type and quality of support. Future research should investigate these forms of support, and when significant others should be encouraged to support in the rehabilitation process to increase the chances of people with RA having a well-functioning and sustainable work life.
