Contribution of demographic, medical, and social support variables in predicting the mental health dimension of quality of life among people with multiple sclerosis
Abstract
The purpose of this study was to examine the contribution of demographic, medical, and social support variables in predicting the mental health dimension of quality of life (MHD/QOL) among people with multiple sclerosis (MS). Eighty-two participants of employment age recruited from hospital neurology clinics specializing in MS completed a demographic questionnaire, and 69 completed the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Inventory (MSQLI). In addition, a neurologist used the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) to assess the medical status of each participant.The number of young children in the family, MS duration, cognitive impairment, and social support were predictors of MHD/QOL. Employment was not associated with MHD/QOL score. Social support made a significant and unique contribution to the MHD/QOL beyond all the other variables. Implications for social work practice are presented.

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.
