RESUMO

To determine the relative contribution of psychological and neuropsychological (NP) variables to the prediction of patterns of coping with disease-related stressors and satisfaction with their coping efforts, 56 patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) were administered the Ways of Coping Checklist, the Symptom Checklist-90-Revised, and a battery of NP tests chosen for their sensitivity to MS. Higher levels of psychological distress were associated with greater use of emotion-focused coping strategies and reduced perceived effectiveness of the coping strategies employed. Psychological distress was not related to the use of problem-focused strategies and NP variables did not predict coping style or effectiveness. MS patients who display heightened psychological distress may be good candidates for psychotherapeutic interventions aimed at improving perceived coping effectiveness.

RESUMO

This study examined the relationships between coping styles and psychological distress in a non-institutionalized sample of individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). The MS sample completed a measure of psychological distress and identified coping strategies utilized for stressors that were disease-related and general in nature. They also self-reported their perceived efficacy of the coping strategies utilized for both stressors. Individuals with MS exhibited greater levels of depression and their indices of psychological distress than demographically matched controls but the patterns of coping strategies endorsed and the ratings of coping effectiveness were similar for the two groups. When coping with disease-related stressors, individuals with MS utilized coping strategies that were more emotion-focused and dependent but no less effective than when the same patients coped with general stressors. Within the MS group, high levels of psychological distress were positively correlated with the use of emotion-focused coping strategies, but were unrelated to the use of problem-focused strategies. Most individuals with MS individuals with MS appear to be able to modify their coping strategies to adopt to varying sorts of stressors.
