Abstract

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is the most common autoimmune disorder of the central nervous system with profound effects on patients' independence and self-efficacy. Then, it is still questionable whether self-management programs in patients with MS affect the patients' self-efficacy. The present study aimed to investigate the effect of a self-management program plus regular follow-up on self-efficacy in patients with MS. A quasi-experimental study was performed on 80 patients with relapsing remitting MS who were randomly allocated to an intervention (n = 40) and a control group (n = 40). The MS self-efficacy scale was completed before and after the intervention. The intervention group was divided into four small subgroups of ten. Then, each subgroup was invited to participate in four training sessions about self-management. During the two months after the self-management sessions, a weekly telephone follow-up was conducted for each patient in the intervention group. The control group did not receive any intervention other than routine care. Data were analyzed using SPSS 11.5. Descriptive statistics, Chi-square, and independent-samples t-testes were used to analyze the data. No significant difference in mean scores of baseline self-e...Continue Reading

There are different types of autoimmune diseases, in which there is a complex and unknown interaction between genetics and the environment. Discover the latest research on autoimmune diseases here.
