Acronym
COPCORD

Description
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International League Against Rheumatism (ILAR) initiated the Community Oriented Program for the Control of Rheumatic Diseases (COPCORD) project in 19814 . The aim of the program was to collect data on the burden of illness brought about by rheumatic disease and to institute preventive measures such as educational interventions. A number of countries have participated in this program and have used the WHO-ILAR COPCORD Core Questionnaire (CCQ) to determine the prevalence rates of rheumatic diseases in their countries. The English version of the CCQ includes questions on 7 domains: pain, symptoms (tenderness, swelling, and stiffness), trauma, functional ability, coping, health-seeking behavior, and treatments received.

Acronym
DCS

Description
The Depressive Cognition Scale (DCS) is an eight-item instrument that measures hopelessness, helplessness, powerlessness, purposelessness, worthlessness, loneliness, emptiness, and meaninglessness (Zauszniewski, 1995). Based on Beck’s cognitive theory of depression and Erikson’s theory of psychosocial development (Zauszniewski, 1995), the DCS assesses depressive cognitions that may stem from the unsuccessful resolution of Erikson’s eight developmental stages (Zauszniewski, 1995). The instrument is a selfadministered eight-item scale scored on a 6-point Likert-type scale ranging from 0 = strongly disagree to 5 = strongly agree. ( Zauszniewski and Bekhet, 2012).
