“…Generally, however, scores indicative of more positive FOCs were associated with better patient QOL in both physical and psychological domains (Wollin et al, 2013, Casey et al, 2018. While the majority of studies involved cross-sectional designs, those employing longitudinal designs suggest that positive expectations, specifically MS self-efficacy, are predictive of later higher QOL (Riazi et al, 2004, Wollin et al, 2013, and studies employing regression analyses suggest that self-efficacy is an independent predictor of higher QOL when controlling for other known associates (Penwell-Waines et al, 2017, Wilski and.…”

Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a highly variable condition characterised by uncertainty of disease course which can make formation of expectations about the future difficult. This systematic review aimed to examine associations between expectations, or Future Oriented Cognitions (FOCs), and Quality of Life (QOL) in people with MS (PwMS). Methods: Following PRISMA guidelines, literature up to October 2019 was searched using Medline, EMBASE, PsycINFO and Web of Science. Quantitative studies that investigated relationships between FOCs and QOL in PwMS (assessed using a standardised QOL assessment) were considered for inclusion. After data extraction, results were analysed using narrative synthesis, focusing on the valence of FOCs (positive, negative, unvalenced). Quality appraisal was conducted using the Mixed Methods Appraisal Tool (MMAT). All stages of the review were patient-led by a person with MS. Results: A total of 13 studies met the review inclusion criteria, with a combined sample size of 4,179. Of these studies, 11 involved measures of positive FOCs, most commonly self-efficacy, one measured a negative FOC, with one FOC unclassified. Nine studies found significant associations between QOL and self-efficacy. Although other positively valenced constructs were less frequently reported, significant associations with higher QOL were also evidenced. Conclusions: Identifying ways to foster positive FOCs, particularly self-efficacy, may have beneficial effects on QOL. More research is needed to understand the impacts of negative FOCs on QOL to determine whether these processes could be meaningfully targeted in interventions.

“…Multiple sclerosis significantly hinders everyday functioning, fulfilling family, social, and professional roles, disturbs the emotional well-being of patients, significantly affects the quality of life and triggers a complex adaptation process (Carvalho et al, 2014;Ghafari, Fallahi-Khoshknab, Nourozi, & Mohammadi, 2015;Hyarat, Subih, Rayan, Salami, & Harb, 2019;Dymecka & Gerymski, 2019;Irvine, Davidson, Hoy, & Lowe-Strong, 2009;McReynolds, Koch, & Rumrill, 1999;Vukusic & Marignier, 2015), which is why self-efficacy is an important resource for this group of patients. It affects how they adapt to and manage the disease (Calandri, Graziano, Borghi, & Bonino, 2019;Eccles & Simpson, 2011;Motl & Snook, 2008;Schmitt, Goverover, Deluca, & Chiaravalloti, 2014;Wassem, 1992), physical activity and rehabilitation (Casey et al, 2018;Ferrier, Dunlop, & Blanchard, 2010;Morris, McAuley, & Motl, 2008;Motl & Snook, 2008;Sikes, Cederberg, Baird, Sandroff, & Motl, 2019) and the well-being and quality of life Guicciardi, Carta, Pau, & Cocco, 2019;Mitchell, Benito-León, Morales González, & Rivera-Navarro, 2005;Motl, McAuley, Wynn, Sandroff, & Suh, 2013;Motl & Snook, 2008).…”

BackgroundSelf-efficacy expresses the individual’s belief in their ability to take up and continue actions in order to achieve a particular result and cope with various life events. For people with multiple sclerosis (MS), self-efficacy is an im-portant resource because it affects how they adapt to the disease, and influences their motivation, health-related behavior and physical activity. It also has a great impact on their quality of life. Because of the lack of tools for meas-uring self-efficacy in Polish patients with multiple sclerosis, the goal of the current study was to develop a Polish language version of the Liverpool Self-efficacy Scale (LSES) and assess its validity and reliability.Participants and procedureA total of 175 people diagnosed with MS took part in the study. A Polish version of the LSES, the Sense of Coherence Questionnaire (SOC-29), the Resiliency Assessment Scale (SPP-25), the Health-Related Hardiness Scale (HRHS), the Acceptance of Illness Scale (AIS) and the Multiple Sclerosis Impact Scale were applied.ResultsConfirmatory factor analysis, reliability analysis using α and ω coefficients, and two measures of validity (content and criterion validity) were used in order to validate psychometric properties of the Polish version of the LSES. Our analyses confirmed a good fit of the one-factor and two-factor models.ConclusionsThe results indicate that the Polish version of the LSES is a useful and valuable tool for assessing levels of self-efficacy in Polish patients with multiple sclerosis. The scale can be used for both clinical and research purposes.

“…Perceived self-efficacy influences health-related behaviour such as adhering to medication6 or engaging in physical activity in PwMS 7. Health status evaluations of responses to rehabilitation and steroid treatment after an MS relapse can be predicted by self-efficacy levels 8.…”

“…Recognising the relevance of self-efficacy especially for people with disabilities, valid and reliable measurement tools are still needed for its assessment. Three generic self-efficacy scales were found in the literature 7 14–16. However, generic questionnaires may not adequately cover the construct of self-efficacy in a chronic neurological disease like MS.…”

German translation, cultural adaption and validation of the unidimensional self-efficacy scale for multiple sclerosis: a study protocol

IntroductionSelf-efficacy refers to individuals’ confidence in their ability to perform relevant tasks to accomplish desired goals. This is independent of their actual abilities. In people with multiple sclerosis (MS), self-efficacy has been shown to powerfully influence motivation and health-related behaviour, such as adherence to prescribed treatment or physical activity. So far, a rigorously tested German language self-efficacy questionnaire for people with MS is missing.MethodsThe purpose of this study is to translate the original Unidimensional Self-Efficacy Scale for Multiple Sclerosis (USE-MS) into German and to validate the German USE-MS (USE-MS-G). Based on Bandura’s concept of self-efficacy and international guidelines for questionnaire development, the patient-led development of the pre-final German version will involve a forward–backward translation process, synthesis of translations, expert committee review and consensus with the original test developers. At two centres in Tyrol, Austria, content and face validity and cultural adaption for Austria will be established using face-to-face semistructured cognitive interviews of 30 people with MS (PwMS). A further 292 PwMS with minimal to severe disability will be tested at two timepoints to validate the USE-MS-G.ResultsMixed methods analyses will be applied. Interviews will be transcribed and analysed employing qualitative content analysis. External validity will be explored using Spearman’s Rank correlation coefficients of the USE-MS-G with the 13-item Resilience Scale, General Self-Efficacy Scale, Multiple Sclerosis International Quality of Life questionnaire, Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale and MS-specific Neurological Fatigue Index. Test–retest reliability, internal consistency and floor and ceiling effects will be evaluated. Internal validity will be examined using Rasch analysis.Ethics and disseminationEthical approval was received from the Ethics Committee of the Medical University of Innsbruck, Austria (reference number EK1260/2018; 13.12.2018). Results from this study will be disseminated to the participants and MS Societies, and to clinicians and researchers through peer-reviewed publications and conferences.Study registrationISRCTN Registry; trial ID ISRCTN14843579; prospectively registered on 02. 01. 2019; http://www.isrctn.com/ISRCTN14843579
