Abstract

Aim of present study was to study the role of psychological factors and pain-related variables in the prediction of the emotional distress in MS patients. Sample of the study was consisted of 249 patients with Multiple Sclerosis visiting M.S society of Isfahan and was selected through convenience sampling. Of this sample, 12 patients were not included because they didn’t meet the inclusion criteria. Participants answered to the questionnaires of pain-related self-efficacy, ego strength and multidimensional pain inventory. To analyze the data, Pearson correlation and stepwise regression analysis were used. Results indicated that ego strength and pain related self-efficacy could significantly and negatively predict the emotional distress in M.S patients. Social support also predicted the emotional distress significantly and positively. Findings of present research were consistent with the results of the previous studies that demonstrated the role of self-conceptions in predicting the emotional distress. Given the positive correlation between social support and emotional distress in this study that is consistent with some studies and that is different with some other studies, it is recommended to study the relationship between perceived and real social support and emotional distress in the future studies.

Abstract

The aim of this study was the effectiveness of compassion-based therapy on reducing rumination, distress tolerance and sense of coherence in patients with MS. The design of this study was applied in terms of purpose and also a quasi-experimental pretest-posttest design with a control group in terms of implementation. The statistical population of the study included all female patients referred to the Tehran MS Association in 2020. According to the inclusion and exclusion criteria and after the initial screening (completion of pre-test questionnaires), 30 female patients were selected through available sampling and randomly assigned to two 15-individual experimental and control groups. Data collection tools included Nima Ghorbani Rumination Scale (RRS) Questionnaire, Simmons and Gaher Distress Tolerance Scale (DTS) Questionnaire and Antonovski Sense of Coherence (SOC). Data analysis was conducted using multivariate covariance analysis and SPSS 25 software. The results indicated that there is a significant difference in a specific level (P <0.001) between the experimental and control groups in terms of rumination, distress tolerance and sense of coherence. Compassion-based therapy is one of the therapies in the field of third wave psychology that reduces rumination and increases the distress tolerance and sense of coherence in patients with MS.

At the screening stage, a sample of 40 subjects was considered who were randomly divided into experimental and control groups. Art therapy-based training classes for the experimental group were held in 14 sessions on Mondays and Wednesdays, and the control group classes were held in 14 sessions (45-minute) with different content on Sundays and Mondays. The results showed that art-based education reduced the symptoms of anxiety, depression and fatigue In other words, 14 sessions of Art therapy-based training explained 30%, 11%, 22% and 11% of the variance of Explicit anxiety, hidden anxiety, depression, and fatigue.
