The impact of the traumatic component on the subjective assessment of the quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis
Abstract
The article presents the results of a comparative analysis of the quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) with symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD) associated with the presence of the disease, and patients who do not have these symptoms. Materials and methods. The study involved 127 patients with multiple sclerosis, of which 61 patients showed symptoms of post-traumatic stress disorder. The study of quality of life was conducted using the SF-36 questionnaire. Results. In patients with MS who have symptoms of PTSD, there is a decrease in all indicators of quality of life, with the exception of indicators of physical functioning. Conclusion A subjective assessment of quality of life indicators is more dependent on the presence of mental comorbidity than on the degree of disability, the duration of the course of the disease, and the treatment received.
