Perceptions of Illness Control, Coherence, and Self-Efficacy Following a Web-Based Lifestyle Program for Multiple Sclerosis: A Qualitative Analysis of Semistructured Interviews.

Background: Evidence suggests that illness perceptions held by people living with multiple sclerosis (MS) impact affective distress and physical health outcomes. In a randomized controlled trial, we developed 2 MS Online Courses-the standard care course and the intervention course (IC). The IC was adapted from an evidence-based lifestyle program.

Lifestyle changes and patient-reported outcomes over five years in a sample of people with multiple sclerosis after a single multimodal intensive lifestyle education workshop.

Introduction: Modifiable lifestyle risk factors for progression of multiple sclerosis (MS) have been increasingly studied. This study employed a single-group design involving a one-off intensive live-in educational workshop on lifestyle modification for people with MS. We aimed to examine changes in a range of clinical and lifestyle variables and quality of life, self-efficacy, physical impact of MS and disability from baseline to 3- and 5-years post-intervention.

Sociodemographic, Health, and Lifestyle-Related Characteristics Associated With the Commencement and Completion of a Web-Based Lifestyle Educational Program for People With Multiple Sclerosis: Randomized Controlled Trial.

Background: Digital health interventions increase access to multiple sclerosis (MS)-related knowledge for people living with MS; however, our understanding of factors associated with engagement in web-based learning is limited.

Objective: This study aims to examine associations between participant sociodemographic, health, and lifestyle-related characteristics and the commencement and completion of the Multiple Sclerosis Online Course (MSOC) in a randomized controlled trial (RCT).

Methods: An intervention course was developed based on the Overcoming MS Program-an evidence-based lifestyle modification program for MS, and a standard care course was developed based on international MS website information.

Baseline engagement with healthy lifestyles and their associations with health outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis enrolled in an online multimodal lifestyle course.

Background And Purpose: Healthy lifestyle behaviour modification may improve health outcomes in people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS), but empirical evidence is needed to confirm prior study findings. We developed an online multimodal lifestyle intervention (Multiple Sclerosis Online Course) to examine the impact of lifestyle modification on health outcomes in pwMS via a randomized control trial (RCT). However, the present study specifically analyses baseline data to assess engagement with healthy lifestyles by RCT participants and cross-sectional associations with health outcomes.

Diet and omega-3 and vitamin D supplement use predict five-year fatigue and disability trajectories in people with multiple sclerosis.

Background: Fatigue and disability are indicators of disease progression experienced by many people with multiple sclerosis (pwMS). Understanding trajectories of these outcomes, and their predictors, may provide insight to potential interventions for MS management.

Methods: Survey data from 839 pwMS from the Health Outcomes and Lifestyle in pwMS study were analysed.
