Coping Strategies and Mood Profiles in Patients with Multiple Sclerosis
Open accessAbstract
OBJECTIVE: The aim of the present study was to investigate the coping strategies, mood characteristics and the association between these aspects in patients diagnosed with multiple sclerosis and healthy subjects. METHOD: Fifty consecutive patients who were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis according to McDonald criteria and thirty-one healthy subjects were included in the study. In addition to the sociodemographic form, Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Coping Orientation for Problem Experiences Scale (COPE), and Profile of Mood States (POMS) tests were applied to the participants. RESULTS: Non-functional coping strategies were significantly higher in the secondary-progressive type (p≤0.05). Depression-dejection, fatigue-inertia and total POMS scores were significantly higher in the secondary-progressive type (p≤0.05). CONCLUSION: The results of our study demonstrate the importance of rehabilitation programs that encourage exercise among patients with multiple sclerosis to increase vigor-activity levels.

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].”
From Coping strategies and their impact on quality of life and physical disability of people with multiple sclerosis (2021) · cites this paper as [23]
The MS results section reports a positive correlation between EDSS scores and behavioral disengagement, supporting the avoidance-coping part of the claim. It does not establish a general increase in emotion-based coping with greater disability: humor was positively correlated with EDSS only in men, while positive reinterpretation and growth was negatively correlated overall.

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.
