Abstract

Background: Multiple sclerosis (MS) symptoms lead to functional impairments that predict limitations, unemployment and withdrawal from social or leisure activities and affect the healthrelated quality of life (HRQOL). Sensory processing sensitivity (SPS) and self-management are important factors affecting HRQOL in people with MS. Objectives: We decided to determine the role of SPS and self-management in predicting HRQOL in MS patients. Materials & Methods: This cross-sectional-analytical study was conducted on 320 relapsingremitting MS patients registered in the nationwide MS registry of Iran (NMSRI), Guilan Province, from March 2020 to March 2021. The SPS questionnaire (SPSQ), MS self-management scalerevised (MSSM-R) and 36-item short-form survey (SF-36) were used to collect data. Results: The findings showed that quality of life in people with MS has a positive significant relationship with SPS (r=0.14) and self-management (r=0.22) (P<0.05). The results of the multiple regression model also showed that the MSSM-R and SPSQ explained a total of 12% of the variance of the SF-36. Conclusion: Overall, SPS and self-management are factors affecting the quality of life of MS patients. © 2024 The Author(s).
