    ObjectivesCoaching programs are used to achieve continuity in physical activity and reduce pain severity in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Our aim was to examine the effects of coaching programs on physical activity and pain in patients with rheumatoid arthritis through randomized controlled trials.DesignSystematic review and meta-analysis.Data SourcesScopus, PubMed, Web of Science, Cochrane Library, Science Direct, EBSCOhost/CINAHL Complete, Springer Link, ProQuest, and Ovid databases were searched without year limitations in English until May 2023.Review/Analysis MethodsPRISMA guideline was employed. Comprehensive Meta-Analysis 3 software was used to analyze the meta-analysis data. Two researchers independently assessed the quality of the included studies using the Cochrane Collaboration tool.ResultsThis study included six randomized controlled trials with a total of 983 participants. It was determined that the coaching programs were effective in improving physical activity levels (95% CI = 0.14-0.39, Hedge's g = 0.27, p < .001) and reducing pain (95% CI = 0.07-0.39, Hedge's g = 0.23, p = .006) in the intervention groups compared with the control groups. It was determined that the application of coaching programs in the form of face-to-face sessions and phone calls at 7-10 sessions per year in patients diagnosed with rheumatoid arthritis was beneficial in pain management and improving physical activity levels.ConclusionsFace-to-face sessions and telephone interviews are recommended as part of a coaching program for the maintenance of physical activity and pain management in patients with rheumatoid arthritis. Coaching programs can improve patients' functional status. There is a need to determine effective strategies by increasing awareness of the coaching programs implemented by nurses.Copyright © 2023 American Society for Pain Management Nursing.
