[A survey on constitutive elements of quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis].

Background And Methods: We conducted a survey on the constitutive elements of quality of life (QOL) in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). We recruited 20 MS patients to complete several questionnaires including Functional Assessment of MS (FAMS), Short Form 36 (SF-36), Nottingham Adjustment Scale-Japanese version (NAS-J), Sense of Coherence (SOC), and EuroQoL (EQ-5D). We also determined their Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) scores, and 10 of the 20 patients answered The Schedule of Individual Quality of Life-Direct Weighting (SEIQoL-DW) by semi-structured interviews.
