Abstract

Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic disease. Familiarity and awareness of self-care conditions and Health-Promoting Behaviors contribute to patients’ self-efficacy. Objectives: This study examines the relationship between Self-care Ability and Health-Promoting Behaviors in patients with Multiple Sclerosis. Methods: This descriptive-analytical study involved 112 MS patients from the MS Society of Khuzestan province, selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using a demographic form, Weaver’s Self-Care Inventory (SCI), and Walker’s Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile (HPLP), then analyzed with SPSS software at a significance level of 0. 05. Results: The mean Self-care Ability score was 104. 49 ± 12. 72 (range 40-240), and the mean health-promoting behavior score was 132. 52 ± 12. 72 (range 50-208), indicating overall poor Health-Promoting Behaviors. Self-care Ability was significantly related to Health-Promoting Behaviors in MS patients (P < 0. 01). Age (P = 0. 001), education (P = 0. 002), and job type (P = 0. 017) showed significant relationships with Self-care Ability. However, there was no significant relationship between demographic variables and Health-Promoting Behaviors (P < 0. 05). Conclusions: Multiple Sclerosis patients exhibit poor Health-Promoting Behaviors and Self-care Ability. Improving Self-care Ability and Health-Promoting Behaviors requires ongoing education and culturalization. The MS Society can design and implement structured training programs by understanding the self-efficacy needs and abilities of patients and collaborating with other therapy group members.
