Quality of Life in Multiple Sclerosis

Quality of life among Sudanese patients with multiple sclerosis in Khartoum state using (MSQoL-54) questionnaire

“…Our study showed that, the Quality of life overall mean score was 66.4 ± 21.9, Physical Health Composite was 71.6 ± 21.3 and Mental Health Composite was 61.2 ± 22.4. This was similar to the findings reported by Algahtani et al [7] who found that, quality of life of MS patients measured 73.87 ± 23.41 associated with significant effects on the patient’s life. On the other hand, Sara et al [8] noticed that, males had significantly higher scores compared to females in both physical and mental domains of MSQOL-54 (P < 0.001).…”

Furthermore, in this study, secondary graduates with age less than 40 years, with longer disease duration was significantly associated with poor Physical Health Composite and Mental Health Composite in MSQOL-54 tool subsets (P < 0.005).…”

Predictors of psychosocial adjustment in people with physical disease

“…In our study, no relationship was seen between psychosocial adjustment and length of illness and number of hospitalizations. The literature provides support for this finding (Maybury & Brewin 1984, Rudick et al. 1992).…”

Specialized housing adaptation in multiple sclerosis: Relationships to demographic variables

“…Although Green, Todd, and Pevalin (2007) stated that most individuals with MS are in a higher social class and have higher levels of education than people in the general population, MS causes neurological changes that typically interfere with activities of daily living and may impact a number of life domains (Rudick, Miller, Claugh, Gragg, & Farmer, 1992). For example the progressive nature of MS can prevent an individual from participating in employment and hence limit the individual’s income.…”
