“…In the study Mendes et al conducted with 84 RRMS patients, and using BDI and EDSS, they found that there was a correlation between depression and disability, but there was no association between depression and sex, age and duration of disease (24). In the study Iwasaki et al conducted in 48 MS patients, there was no correlation between depression and disability (25). In our study, similari to that of Mendes et al,.…”

Re cei ved/Ge lifl Ta ri hi: 13.11.2012 Ac cep ted/Ka bul Ta ri hi: 23.01.2013 Özet Amaç: Multipl skleroz (MS), mobilite ve fonksiyonel aktivitelerde değişik derecelerde özürlülüğe yol açan, kişinin sosyal ve meslek hayatında kısıtlamalara neden olarak ileri düzeyde engellilik yaratan ve yaşam kalitesini bozan bir hastalıktır. Hastaların büyük bir kısmında depresyon gözlenmektedir. Ayrıca kognitif fonksiyonlarda da bozulma (KFB) meydana gelmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, MS'li hastalarda depresyon ve KFB sıklığını belirlemektir. Bulgular: Çalışmaya katılan 108 MS olgusunun; %69,4'ü (n=75) kadın, %30,6'sı (n=33) erkektir. Hastaların %19,5'inde (n=21) depresyon, %41,7'sinde (n=45) ise KFB tespit edilmiştir. Hastaların %13,9'unda (n=15) ise hem depresyon ve hem de KFB gözlenmiştir. Ge reç ve Sum maryObjective: Multiple sclerosis (MS) not only leads to different levels of disabilities in mobility and functional activities, but also creates severe disability and impairs the quality of life by limiting the patient's social and occupational life. Most MS patients experience depression. In addition, cognitive dysfunction is also present. In this study we aimed to determine the frequency of depression and cognitive dysfunction in MS patients. Ma te ri al and Met hod:One hundred and eight patients diagnosed with MS were evaluated. was by using Brief Re sults: Of the 108 MS subjects who participated in the study, 69.4% (n=75) were female, while 30.6% (n=33) were male. Depression was detected in 19.5% (n=21) of the patients, and cognitive dysfunction was found in 41.7% (n=45). Depression and cognitive dysfunction were detected simultaneously in 13.9% (n=15) of the patients.Dis cus si on: Depression and cognitive dysfunction are not rare in patients with MS. A multidisciplinary approach is needed to treat the patients diagnosed with MS.

“…Furthermore, depression is more common in secondary-progressive type compared to relapsing-remitting MS and the etiology may be related to these non-functional coping strategies commonly seen in patients with MS. However, no correlation was found between depression and disease duration or functional disturbance 21,22 . Similarly, we found no correlation between disease duration and depression or other mood characteristics and coping strategies.…”

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.

“…A recent study by Hart et al (2005), which examined the impact of treating depression on QOL in MS patients, demonstrated that treatment for depression was related to better QOL. These clinically high levels of depression in MS patients require healthcare professionals to observe those who may need further psychological support (Iwasaki et al, 2005). This study suggests that all MS patients should be screened for depression because its treatment may affect not only mood but also other aspects of daily functioning.…”

The purposes of this study were to assess the self-reported quality of life (QOL) in a group of Turkish patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and to analyze whether the QOL was associated with fatigue and depression. The study used a descriptive design. A number of evaluation scales were administered to a study sample comprising 47 outpatients. The Short Form 36 for QOL, the Beck Depression Inventory for Depression, and the Visual Analogue Scale for Fatigue were used. The mean score for general QOL was 34.8 and indicated low QOL in MS patients. The results of our study have also shown that fatigue and depression strongly influence QOL in Turkish MS patients. Our findings may have important implications for the overall care of MS patients. The QOL of MS patients was affected negatively. Both fatigue and depression are common and treatable manifestations of MS, and these symptoms should be screened carefully in all MS patients. Care of MS patients requires the collaboration of all team members. Nurses have a key role as part of this team through the continuity of the care they provide and interaction with patients. Awareness of depression and fatigue can contribute to the nurses' ability to provide psychological support and enhance the QOL in MS patients.
