MARTINEZ-ESPEJO, M Dolores et al. Assessment of Quality of Life in Multiple Sclerosis through the MSQOL-54 and its relation to the health of the caregiver. Enferm. glob. [online]. 2021, vol.20, n.64, pp.217-249. Epub 25-Out-2021. ISSN 1695-6141. https://dx.doi.org/10.6018/eglobal.474161.
Objective:
The aim of the present study was to evaluate the health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) through the MSQOL-54 questionnaire and to analyse its relationship with the health of primary caregivers through the GHQ-12 questionnaire and a questionnaire on self-perceived physical health.
Materials and Methods:
A total of 115 subjects diagnosed with MS and 79 primary caregivers were evaluated.
Results:
The results obtained show the significance of effects on HRQoL of patients with MS and its relationship to the health of primary caregivers. Significant relationships were found between the physical and mental health of the person with MS and an increased number of illnesses, poorer mental health and lower self-perception of health in the caregiver.
Conclusions:
The results obtained point to the significant impairment of the HRQoL of people with MS, and its direct relationship with the health of primary caregivers.
