[Patient education "systemic sclerosis"].
We report on the development of an education program for patients with systemic sclerosis. The program was developed by a multi professional group in cooperation with scleroderma patients and the scleroderma patient organization. Patient education will be carried out by professional trainers as a weekend seminar within a group of 6 to 12 participants according to the method of subject focussed interaction. The program consisting of 7 modules is now in the final test phase.
