abstract: 'BACKGROUND: Multiple sclerosis (MS) is an intrusive disease that
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significantly affects labor force participation.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
OBJECTIVE: This study examined the extent to which factors at the
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
personal, health and function, and environmental/career maintenance
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
levels contribute to the predictability power for quality of life among
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
employed people with MS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
METHOD: Participants consisted of 523 members of nine National Multiple
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Sclerosis Society chapters representing 21 states and Washington, DC.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
These individuals were employed at the time of the survey, and they were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
primarily middle age (average age of 48 years) and Caucasian (74\%).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
RESULTS: The final hierarchical multiple regression model explained 54
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
percent of the variability in participants'' quality of life scores,
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
although none of the hypothesized personal/demographic predictors were
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
significant. Participants who perceived better overall health and lower
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
levels of stress, who experienced less severe cognitive and
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
mobility-related MS symptoms, and who expressed stronger job-person
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
matches and higher levels of job satisfaction reported higher quality of
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
life scores than did other participants.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
CONCLUSIONS: The findings underscore the complexity involved in
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
predicting perceived quality of life among employed people with MS.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Implications of these findings for future research and clinical practice
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
are discussed.'
