Abstract

The authors developed an 8-week psychoeducational group intervention for patients with systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) who reported cognitive dysfunction but were not globally impaired on neuropsychological testing. Results of a nonrandomized, uncontrolled pilot study of this program in 17 women with SLE suggest that metamemory and memory self-efficacy improve after participation. One hundred percent retention throughout the study further suggests that patients with SLE are willing and capable of successfully completing the program.
