Abstract

Purpose: As people with long-standing disabling conditions age, the interplay between pre-existing conditions and new comorbidities can present unique challenges. Therefore, the current study explored relationships between resilience and health, health promotion, and quality of life among older adults living with multiple sclerosis (MS).

Method: Adults recruited from National MS Society chapters completed a mailed survey about their health, health promotion, and well-being.

Results: The 147 respondents (mean age = 72 years) reported an average of three additional comorbidities and had been diagnosed with MS for 35 years on average. Resilience scores were most highly correlated with depressive symptoms, spiritual growth, social support, incapacity status, and quality of life. Resilience scores significantly improved prediction of emotional health, after controlling for other functional and psychosocial variables.

Conclusion: Nurses can help patients with chronic conditions, such as MS, develop strategies for regulating their emotional health to adapt to new health challenges. [Journal of Gerontological Nursing, xx(xx), xx-xx.].

在社区居住的患有长期多发性硬化症的老年人中，复原力与健康、健康促进和生活质量之间的关系。

目的：随着长期致残患者年龄的增长，原有病症和新合并症之间的相互作用会带来独特的挑战。因此，本研究探讨了患有多发性硬化症（MS）的老年人的复原力与健康、健康促进和生活质量之间的关系：方法：从全国多发性硬化症协会分会招募的成年人完成了一份关于其健康、健康促进和幸福感的邮寄调查：结果：147 名受访者（平均年龄 72 岁）平均患有三种并发症，平均确诊多发性硬化症 35 年。复原力得分与抑郁症状、精神成长、社会支持、丧失工作能力状况和生活质量的相关性最高。在控制了其他功能和心理社会变量后，复原力得分明显提高了对情绪健康的预测：护士可以帮助多发性硬化症等慢性病患者制定调节情绪健康的策略，以适应新的健康挑战。[老年护理杂志，xx（xx），xx-xx]。
