“…Evidence suggests that workers with MS who feel too stressed to work are more likely to leave employment (Simmons et al, 2010) and that rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation are elevated among adults with MS (DeLuca & Nocentini, 2011). When controlling for other factors such as age, gender, and disease duration, self-rated health is a significant predictor of employment (Krokavcova et al, 2010).…”

Abstract. BACKGROUND:For too many cases, multiple sclerosis (MS) results in premature exit from the workforce due to both the complexity and unpredictable nature of its symptoms. OBJECTIVE: The purpose of this investigation was to examine differential employment self-efficacy expectations on the part of employed adults with MS. METHODS: Drawn from a larger national survey, the sample for this study (N = 590) consisted of individuals with three types of employment expectations: continue employment for the next 2 to 5 years, decrease work responsibilities or hours in the next 2 to 5 years, and exit employment in the next 2 to 5 years. RESULTS: Findings confirmed the utility of social cognitive theory regarding the relationship between background, physiological and affective states, performance accomplishments, and proximal contextual influences and employment expectancies. Compared to those who expected to retain their employment, those who planned to decrease work responsibilities or exit the workforce were older, more severely disabled from MS, and, in the case of those planning to decrease their job duties, less likely to have access to suitable housing. CONCLUSION: Specific recommendations regarding intervention strategies are provided, including the need to assist minority adults with MS in securing more satisfying employment.

“…They are strongly associated with limited performance of activities of daily living and restricted participation in social activities of People with MS (PwMS) (2)(3)(4)(5)(6). Permanent disability, such as inability to work or premature pension in young and middle-aged adults, is an important socioeconomic consequence of MS that has significant implications for the quality of life of those persons suffering from it (7)(8)(9)(10).…”

“…Individuals diagnosed with MS have to face various limitations in functioning and experience disability during the course of the disease [1,2] having a significant impact on independence, employability, the performance of activities of daily living and social participation [3][4][5]. Disability in people with MS comprises impaired body functions and structures as well as limitations in activities and restrictions in participation modified by contextual factors such as environmental and personal factors.…”

To report on the results of an evidence-based International Consensus Conference to develop the Comprehensive and Brief ICF Core Set for MS. A formal and iterative decision-making and consensus process was undertaken, involving the integration of evidence from preparatory studies (expert survey, systematic literature review, qualitative study, empirical cross-sectional study) and expert opinion. The decision-making and consensus process included discussions and voting in working groups and plenary sessions involving selected international experts from different health professions. Twenty-one experts from 16 countries selected 138 ICF categories for the Comprehensive ICF Core for MS (40 Body functions, 7 Body structures, 53 Activities and Participation categories and 38 Environmental factors) and 19 categories for the Brief ICF Core Set for MS (8 Body functions, 2 Body structures, 5 Activities and Participation categories, 4 Environmental factors). An evidence-based and formal decision-making consensus process led to the approval of ICF Core Sets for MS which should be further validated.
