Abstract

Introduction

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a major inflammatory demyelinating disease that causes neurological disabilities and affects approximately 2.8 million people worldwide. With a growing interest in the relationship between temperaments and disease severity, this study aims to investigate the potential correlation between temperament types and MS severity to improve the quality of life for multiple sclerosis patients.

Methods

In this cross-sectional study, we evaluated the temperaments of multiple sclerosis patients and their correlation with quality of life and fatigue. Following ethical approval, 153 patients were selected from the MS Association of Arak. All participants completed four questionnaires: a validated Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) for fatigue assessment and the MSIS-29 quality of life questionnaire. Data were analyzed using SPSS v19.

Results

Statistical analysis revealed no significant correlation between fatigue levels and temperament scores; however, the significance ratio was borderline. Quality of life deficit scores did not significantly correlate with temperament scores either. Comparing mean fatigue scores among different temperament types showed no significant difference (P = 0.334). Similarly, no significant difference in mean quality of life deficit scores was observed among temperament types (P = 0.152). There was also no significant correlation between patient age and fatigue scores (P = 0.773) or quality of life deficit scores (P = 0.481).

Conclusion

This study found no significant associations between temperaments and fatigue or quality of life scores.

多发性硬化症患者的疲劳程度是否与他们的气质有关？

多发性硬化症（MS）是一种主要的炎症性脱髓鞘疾病，可导致神经功能障碍，影响全球约280万人。随着人们对气质与疾病严重程度之间的关系越来越感兴趣，本研究旨在探讨气质类型与MS严重程度之间的潜在相关性，以改善多发性硬化症患者的生活质量。方法在横断面研究中，我们评估多发性硬化症患者的气质及其与生活质量和疲劳的关系。经伦理批准后，从Arak MS协会中选择了153名患者。所有参与者完成了四份问卷：一份用于疲劳评估的有效疲劳严重程度量表（FSS）和一份MSIS-29生活质量问卷。数据采用SPSS v19进行分析。结果统计分析显示，疲劳水平与气质评分无显著相关；然而，显著性比是临界的。生活质量缺陷得分与气质得分也没有显著相关。不同气质类型的平均疲劳评分比较，差异无统计学意义（P = 0.334）。同样，气质类型之间的平均生活质量缺陷评分也无显著差异（P = 0.152）。患者年龄与疲劳评分（P = 0.773）或生活质量缺陷评分（P = 0.481）也无显著相关性。结论：本研究未发现气质与疲劳或生活质量评分之间存在显著关联。
