An appropriate education may lead to less work disability in patients with arthritis. The aim of the study was to determine the educational level in two groups of young adults with arthritis. Patients with juvenile arthritis ( JA, n=32) and patients with early adult onset of arthritis (EA, n=47) were examined with the Quality of Life Scale (QOLS) and a questionnaire concerning education and profession counselling. Comparisons with a reference group (n=95) from the general population were made. The EA group had lower level of education (p<0.01), compared to the reference group. Among the EA patients, 62% had not discussed their choice of occupation with anybody, compared to 19% in the JA group. The educational level was lower in patients with rheumatic disease starting in early adulthood. Educational issues and counselling should be focused on the care of young adults with arthritis.
