“…Although the use of emotion-focused strategies can help PwMS regulate their negative feelings and it is to some extent a useful strategy in adjustment with MS (34), greater reliance on emotionfocused strategies and less use of problem-focused coping are related to poorer psychological adjustment in these patients (35). The results on personality traits, consistent with most of other studies (18)(19)(20)(21)(22), indicated that PwMS show higher levels of neuroticism and lower levels of extraversion, agreeableness, and conscientiousness in comparison with general population. It seems that this maladaptive personality configuration, known as "type D personality", which is specified by high neuroticism, low extraversion, and to some extent low conscientiousness and agreeableness (36), is somehow related to MS and other neurocognitive diseases (18).…”

“…Personality traits are indicative of one of the influential and main factors affecting psychological functions, and therefore they affect various life qualities and therapeutic interventions (17). Studies carried out concerning personality traits of the PwMS indicate that these individuals score higher in neuroticism (18)(19)(20)(21)(22). Ahmadi and Mahmood Alilu specified that these patients have higher scores in neuroticism and lower scores in extraversion and agreeableness, but no difference was observed in conscientiousness and openness (23).…”

Background and aims: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a common neurological disorder with complex etiology, which is highly affected by psychological factors. These factors should to be identified to help patients with MS (PwMS). This study aimed to compare coping styles, personality traits, and resiliency in PwMS and healthy subjects. Methods: In this case-control study, we selected 75 PwMS from the members of Tehran MS Society in 2016 as case group and 75 healthy subjects as control group. To collect data, we used the Ways of Coping Questionnaire (WOCQ), Big Five Factor Inventory–Revised, and Conner-Davidson Resilience Scale (CD-RISC). Multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA) and independent T-Test were used to analyze the data. Results: The results indicated that PwMS use emotion-focused coping styles more often (44.53±9.13, P=0.008) and problem-focused coping styles less often (39.84±5.79, P=0.001) compared to control group. Also, they showed higher scores in neuroticism (32.10±4.80, P=0.001) and lower scores in extraversion and conscientiousness (27.46±7.12, P=0.005 and 32.98+±5.72, P=0.008, respectively). The resiliency levels in these patients were also lower than healthy subjects (68.13±13.90, P=0.021). Conclusion: Our findings indicated that PwMS are more likely to use emotional coping strategies in stressful situations compared to healthy individuals. Moreover, data confirmed that a maladaptive personality configuration, which is specified by high neuroticism, along with low extraversion, conscientiousness, and agreeableness are somehow related to MS.

“…Existe un modelo de afrontamiento el cual es usado a la hora de sufrir situaciones estresoras como el tratamiento o las recaídas durante la enfermedad. Además, algunos estudios, (García, 2015;Khodarahimi y Rasti, 2015) señalan que la personas con Esclerosis Múltiple suelen sufrir inestabilidad emocional, siendo definida por Cloninger (2000/2003), como "una característica que estará presente en las personas que se ven afectadas por emociones de carácter negativo".…”
