“…This finding may underline the need for the clinician to consider that moderate/severe disability is also associated with higher trait anxiety. These patients may be unable to cope with stressful life events, and therefore they may need to be included in a non‐pharmacological intervention to get a psychological support and help them to use active copying strategies . Moreover, the lack of association between anxiety levels and MS duration suggested that anxiety can occur throughout the disease course and that anxiety levels should be assessed even at early phases of MS.…”

“…Anxiety and depression are known to be common among individuals with MS (da Silva, Vilhena, & Lopes, ; Bianchi, De Giglio, & Prosperini, ). In earlier studies, both conditions were found to be important factors contributing to poor sleep quality in MS patients (Vitková et al., ; Boe Lunde et al., ), although we found no studies presenting data about their impact on sleep quality in women and men with MS. Observations from previous studies conducted among the general population and other chronic conditions showed depression and/or anxiety to be specific contributors of poor sleep in women (Mallampalli & Carter, ; Palagini, Tani, & Bruno, ; Castro‐Sanchez, Mataran‐Penarrocha, & Lara‐Palomo, ).…”

Objectives: Most of the psychological and physical factors associated with poor sleep quality in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) have a different prevalence in women and men but whether Author ManuscriptThis article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved or not these factors contribute differently to sleep quality in women and men with MS is not clear. The aim of this study was to identify possible gender differences in factors related to poor sleep quality in MS patients. Material and Methods:We collected data from 153 patients with MS. Patients filled out the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale, and one item of the Short Form-36 regarding pain. Results:The best model of predictors of poor sleep quality consisting of gender, depression, anxiety, pain and the interaction between gender and pain showed that the only variable interacting with gender, which was significantly associated with poor sleep quality was pain (OR for interaction of pain with male gender was 15.4, 95% CI: 2.4; 39.5). Separate models for men and women consisting of pain, depression, anxiety, after adjustment for age, disease duration and disability showed that pain was the only variable associated with poor sleep quality in men (OR= 12.7, 95%CI: 1.9; 29.6), whereas depression (OR= 4.1, 95%CI: 1.3; 13.2) and anxiety (OR= 6.8, 95%CI: 2.4; 19.1) were in women. Conclusions:Factors contributing to poor sleep quality in MS patients differ by gender.Depression and anxiety are associated with poor sleep quality in women; whereas pain is in men.This highlights the need to apply gender specific approaches to the treatment of sleep disorders.

“…However, quantitative studies might fail to do so, as they might, in such cases, be incapable of creating rich data, which is often the result of deep understanding of the phenomenon. On the other hand, coping with the disease is a multidimensional concept, 16 which could vary depending on the context and Soci-cultural factors as well as being affected by the differences within and across individuals. 17 Furthermore, such issues might be coupled with certain problems which are peculiar to the Iranian context to further complicate the matter; Iranian patients with MS may not have easy access to the required medications, may lack support in terms of rehabilitation, treatment costs, etc., which are specific to the area of Iran.…”

Introduction: Coping with disease is of the main components improving the quality of life in multiple sclerosis patients. Identifying the characteristics of this concept is based on the experiences of patients. Using qualitative research is essential to improve the quality of life. This study was conducted to explore the features of coping with the disease in patients with multiple sclerosis. Method: In this conventional content analysis study, eleven multiple sclerosis patients from Iran MS Society in Tehran (Iran) participated. Purposive sampling was used to select participants. Data were gathered using semi structured interviews. To analyze data, a conventional content analysis approach was used to identify meaning units and to make codes and categories. Results: Results showed that features of coping with disease in multiple sclerosis patients consists of (a) accepting the current situation, (b) maintenance and development of human interactions, (c) self-regulation and (d) self-efficacy. Each of these categories is composed of sub-categories and codes that showed the perception and experience of patients about the coping with disease. Conclusion: Accordingly, a unique set of features regarding features of coping with the disease were identified among the patients with multiple sclerosis. Therefore, working to ensure the emergence of, and subsequent reinforcement of these features in MS patients can be an important step in improving the adjustment and quality of their lives.
