This cross-sectional, comparative study will examine the relationship between psychological resilience and body image in patients with rheumatoid arthritis (RA) and fibromyalgia (FM), and compare these findings with healthy controls. Participants will be recruited consecutively from the Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation outpatient clinic at Samsun Training and Research Hospital. After informed consent, demographic and clinical information will be recorded and validated questionnaires will be administered. The results may help to better understand psychological and body-related experiences in RA and FM and support more comprehensive patient care.
