Abstract

Background & Objective: Personality traits are associated with mental health and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). The aim of this study was to determine personality traits in patients with MS and to examine the relationship between these traits and stigmatization, depression and quality of life. Method: This descriptive, cross-sectional study included 80 MS patients and 96 healthy controls. Data were collected online between June and July 2022. Patient/person information form, Eysenck Personality Questionnaire Revised-Short Form (EPQ-RS), Neuro Quality of Life-Stigma Scale, Beck Depression Inventory and MS Quality of Life Scale-54 were used for data collection. Results: When the age variable was controlled, it was found that the mean neuroticism subscale score was higher (p=0.003) and the mean extraversion subscale score was lower (p=0.018) than the control group. In addition, the mean extraversion score was found to be negatively correlated with stigmatization (p<0.05) and depression (p<0.01), and positively correlated with the physical sub-dimension of quality of life (p<0.01). Neuroticism and psychoticism sub-dimensions were positively correlated with stigmatization and depression and negatively correlated with all sub-dimensions of quality of life (p<0.01). In addition, regression analysis showed that depression significantly contributed to the physical health dimension of quality of life and neuroticism personality trait significantly contributed to the mental health dimension. Conclusions: Neurotic personality traits were found to be more dominant in patients with MS. Moreover, all sub-dimensions of personality traits were associated with stigmatization, depression and quality of life. Therefore, personality traits should be considered in interventions to improve mental health and quality of life.

人格特征与多发性硬化症患者的耻辱感、抑郁和生活质量的关系

背景与目的：人格特质与多发性硬化症（MS）患者的心理健康和生活质量有关。本研究旨在确定多发性硬化症患者的人格特质，并研究这些特质与耻辱感、抑郁和生活质量之间的关系。研究方法这项描述性横断面研究包括 80 名多发性硬化症患者和 96 名健康对照者。数据于 2022 年 6 月至 7 月间在线收集。收集数据时使用了患者/个人信息管理表、艾森克人格问卷修订简表（EPQ-RS）、神经生活质量污名化量表、贝克抑郁量表和多发性硬化症生活质量量表-54。结果显示与对照组相比，在控制年龄变量的情况下，发现神经质子量表的平均得分更高（P=0.003），外向性子量表的平均得分更低（P=0.018）。此外，研究还发现，外向性的平均得分与污名化（p<0.05）和抑郁（p<0.01）呈负相关，与生活质量的身体分维度（p<0.01）呈正相关。神经质和精神病性子维度与鄙视和抑郁呈正相关，与生活质量的所有子维度呈负相关（p<0.01）。此外，回归分析表明，抑郁对生活质量的身体健康维度有显著影响，而神经质人格特质对心理健康维度有显著影响。结论神经质人格特质在多发性硬化症患者中更具优势。此外，人格特质的所有子维度都与污名化、抑郁和生活质量相关。因此，在采取干预措施改善心理健康和生活质量时应考虑到人格特质。
