Use of Coping Strategies in Multiple Sclerosis: Association with Demographic and Disease-Related Characteristics ✰
Open accessAbstract
Background Coping positively and negatively influences psychosocial and other outcomes in multiple sclerosis (MS), but there is conflicting evidence about the use of different coping strategies and their associations with demographic and disease characteristics. Our aims were to examine which coping strategies are used by a large sample of people with MS, then to identify any associations between demographic and disease related factors with use of individual coping strategies.Methods Participants in the Trajectories of Outcomes in Neurological Conditions (TONiC) study completed the Coping Orientations to Problems Experienced (COPE60) questionnaire. Relationships between demographic and clinical characteristics and coping strategies were examined by multiple ordinal logistic regression to assess the effect of each potential predictor after adjustment for other possible covariates.Results From 722 patients, the most commonly used strategy was Acceptance, followed by Active Coping, Planning and Positive Reinterpretation and Growth. All but two strategies showed significant associations with demographic and clinical characteristics. The most marked effects were found for Restraint, with people in employment 2.1 times as likely to utilise this strategy compared to those unemployed, and Seeking of Emotional Social Support and Focus on and Venting of Emotions, which were utilised twice as much by women compared to men. Behavioural and Mental Disengagement were highly associated with greater disability and not being in employment.Conclusion Clinicians should be aware of several disease and demographic characteristics that are associated with use of potentially maladaptive coping strategies.

Several studies have shown that greater physical disability, as measured by the Expanded Disability Status Scale, is associated with the employment of emotional and avoidance coping strategies.
“several studies have shown that greater physical disability, as measured by the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS; [26]), is associated with the employment of emotional and avoidance coping strategies [22,23,27,28].”

Most MS patients use a combination of problem- and emotion-focused coping strategies, namely acceptance, planning, positive reinterpretation and growth, and active coping.
“Holland et al. [29] found that most MS patients use a combination of problem- and emotion-focused coping strategies, namely acceptance, planning, positive reinterpretation and growth, and active coping.”

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
