Article Synopsis
- Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurodegenerative disorder that leads to various symptoms like fatigue, spasticity, and cognitive issues, prompting individuals to adopt different coping strategies that affect their quality of life (QoL).
- A systematic review of 1192 studies identified 19 relevant studies, highlighting the influence of emotional, demographic, and personality factors on the effectiveness of coping strategies used by MS patients.
- Problem-solving and task-oriented coping strategies were found to improve QoL, while emotional-focused and avoidance strategies often led to poorer outcomes; thus, tailored interventions focused on emotional health and social support were recommended for better long-term results.
