“…Depression, anxiety and mood disorders have been reported as important factors that affect disease progression. Supporting our findings, there are some reports showing higher rates of depression and anxiety together with more profound loss of emotional control in patients with secondary-progressive MS 10 . Our study also demonstrated higher total POMS scores in women compared to men, indicating more profound effects on mood state and mood characteristics such as depression-dejection, and fatigue-inertia.…”

Objective: The aim of the present study was to investigate the coping strategies, mood characteristics and the association between these aspects in patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and healthy subjects. Method: Fifty consecutive patients who were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis according to McDonald criteria and thirty-one healthy subjects were included in the study. In addition to the sociodemographic form, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Coping Orientation for Problem Experiences Scale (COPE), and Profile of Mood States (POMS) tests were applied to the participants. Results: Non-functional coping strategies were significantly higher in the secondary-progressive type (p#0.05). Depression-dejection, fatigue-inertia and total POMS scores were significantly higher in the secondary-progressive type (p#0.05). Conclusion: The results of our study demonstrate the importance of rehabilitation programs that encourage exercise among patients with multiple sclerosis to increase vigor-activity levels.

“…In our study, most patients (53%) adopted a task-oriented coping strategy. Yet, many studies report the emotion-oriented coping strategy as the preferred one in MS patients [15,16,17]. This difference may be due to the definition of emotion-oriented coping strategy that may or may not include avoidance-oriented strategy, or may reflect a study enrolment bias as patients with current severe depression or suicidal ideations were excluded because of treatment contraindications.…”

This study (ACSEPT) aimed to assess anxiety evolution according to coping strategy in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) during their first months of treatment with interferon (IFN)-β1a. Recently diagnosed relapsing-remitting MS (RRMS) patients (n = 255) were included and received standardized information on MS. At inclusion, the preferred coping mode was determined using the Coping Inventory for Stressful Situations (CISS). Anxiety and depression were assessed at inclusion and after 3 months using the Spielberger State-Trait Anxiety Inventory and the Beck Depression Inventory, respectively. At inclusion, the preferred coping strategy was task-oriented for most patients (53%), 51% were considered as anxious, and the mean Beck depression score was low. Emotion-oriented patients were more anxious and more depressed than the 2 other coping groups (task- and avoidance-oriented). During the first 3 months of IFN treatment, the anxiety level slightly decreased in the total population, more intensively in the emotion-oriented group, and there were no clinically significant changes in the Beck depression score. Anxiety and depression remained stable or decreased during the first 3 months of IFN treatment, depending on coping strategy. Identifying these coping strategies during therapy initiation may allow customized support and improve treatment adherence.

“…Progressive types of MS demand more frequent adjustments to more severe challenges compared to RRMS (Gaudino, Chiaravalloti, DeLuca, & Diamond, 2001;Heaton, Nelson, Thompson, Burks, & Franklin, 1985) and there is some evidence that people with SPMS show increased distress compared to those with RR and PPMS (Montel & Bungener, 2007;Vleugels et al, 1998). Despite the particular challenges of…”

Coping and quality of life in one hundred and thirty five subjects with multiple sclerosis

Abstract: Our study clearly demonstrated that psychological and social well-being were substantially affected by the disease course. These results encourage us to develop interventions focused on coping strategies and which are better adapted to individual patients.
