Abstract

Background: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) is a chronic disease of the central nervous system (CNS), which affects the adaptability and interaction skills of the patient with family, relatives, and the society. Maintaining proper social relationships is very important for patients with MS.Objectives: This study aimed to evaluate the effect of self-care education on the social adaptability of patients with MS.Methods: This randomized clinical trial was conducted on 50 patients with MS, referred to the MS society of Markazi province, Iran. They were selected based on inclusion criteria and were randomly divided into 2 groups, intervention and control. The patients were educated face-to-face, through a 5-session program on self-care behaviors. Social adaptability scores of the groups prior to the intervention and 1 and 4 weeks after the intervention were compared. Demographic data and the personal resource questionnaire (PRQ) were used for data collection. PRO was translated into Persian and assessed psychometrically by the researchers.Results: In the intervention group, the mean social adaptability score 1 and 4 weeks after the intervention showed a significant increase as compared with the mean score prior to the intervention (57.36±6.6 and 87.8±9.7, respectively, vs.29.04±5.6; P=0.0001). Such a significant increase was also observed between the social adaptability scores at Week 1 and 4 (P=0.0001). No increase was observed in the scores of the control group. The mean social adaptability score 1 and 4 weeks after the intervention was significantly higher in the intervention group (57.36±6.6 and 87.8±9.7, respectively) than it was in the control group (30±6.6 and 30±6.6, respectively) (P=0.0001).Conclusions: Results of the current study indicate that face-to-face education about SELF- CARE behaviors improved social interactions in patients with MS. Hence, this intervention can be utilized to enhance social skills in this patient population.
