Journal of Caring Sciences December 1, 2019 Bentolhoda Kolahkaj, Fatemeh Zargar, Nasrin Majdinasab

Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) therapy improved quality of life in women with multiple sclerosis. Forty-eight women in Ahvaz were randomly assigned to an MBSR group or a control group. The MBSR group received eight sessions of treatment; the control group received no psychological treatment. Quality of life was measured with the 36-item questionnaire. The MBSR group showed significantly greater improvement in both mental and physical quality-of-life subscales compared with the control group, and these improvements were maintained at a two-month follow-up. The authors suggest MBSR is useful for improving quality of life in patients with MS.

In a quasi-experimental study, 24 patients were randomly assigned to an intervention or control group. The intervention group attended eight two-hour sessions. Compared to controls, they showed significant improvements in physical health, role limitations due to physical and emotional problems, energy, emotional well-being, health distress, health perception, satisfaction with sexual function, overall quality of life, and fatigue severity.
