Pages

  7-11

Abstract

 Background: MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS (MS) is a chronic and progressive disease of the central nervous system with debilitating symptoms and complications. Therefore, education and appropriate interventions, including SELF-CARE education, are necessary to increase the QUALITY OF LIFE in these patients. The purpose of this study was to determine the influence of SELF-CARE education on QUALITY OF LIFE in MS patients affiliated to Iranian MS Association.Materials and Methods: This quasi-experimental study assessed a single group of MS patients before and after training. Totally, 50 MS patients were selected non-randomly from the patients referring to Iranian MS Association. A two-part questionnaire was used to collect data. The first part included demographic information and the second part consisted of a QUALITY OF LIFE questionnaire (MSQOL-54) including 54 items in 3 sections and 14 subgroups. The scores ranges from zero to a hundred in each subgroup. The reliability of the questionnaire has been confirmed (Cronbach's alpha = 0.96). The questionnaires were filled out by the patients before training. After at least six 50-minute training sessions during three months, the same questionnaire was again completed by the participants. Statistical analyses, including absolute and relative frequency tables and mean and standard deviation for descriptive analysis, and t-test and Pearson correlation for descriptive analysis, were performed by SPSS.Findings: The mean values of QUALITY OF LIFE in physical health, pain, fatigue, health conception, changes in health status, sexual activities, as well as overall QUALITY OF LIFE scores differed significantly after training. Moreover, except for cognitive activity, there were significant differences in values of mental health before and after training.Conclusions: Designing and applying the SELF-CARE programs based on the educational needs of MS patients has a positive effect on physical and psychological aspects of their QUALITY OF LIFE.
