In practice, assessments are often subjective, potentially resulting in overlooked symptoms, unaddressed patient concerns, unnoticed or underrecognized side effects of therapies (both disease modifying and symptomatic), and suboptimal therapeutic response. Systematic evaluation of specific symptoms and potential side effects can minimize the likelihood of overlooking important information.

Participants were 74 adults with MS and 35 healthy comparison participants (HCs) who underwent neuropsychological testing and completed the Executive Functions Performance Test (EFPT; Baum, , an objective measure of everyday life activities. Between-groups comparisons and correlational analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between cognition and functional capacity. Significant differences in EFPT performance were revealed between individuals with MS with and without cognitive impairment and HCs. In individuals with MS, performance on cognitive constructs was related to performance on the EFPT. Furthermore, a linear regression model comprised of indices of cognitive functioning explained a significant portion of the variance in everyday life activities.

sclerosis (MS) nurses. This study tested a theoretical model proposing that two organizational factors, colleague relationships and benefits, will predict job satisfaction. Job satisfaction was represented by four factors: autonomy, professional status, professional growth, and time efficiency. Participants included MS nurses certified for 6 months or more practicing mostly in three countries (Canada, Great Britain, and the United States) who anonymously completed the Misener Nurse Practitioner Job Satisfaction Scale, an overall job satisfaction rating, and demographic information. Findings indicate that colleague relationships and benefits significantly estimated organization structure and that autonomy, professional status, professional growth, and time efficiency significantly estimated job satisfaction; furthermore, organization factors such as colleague relationships and benefits significantly predict job satisfaction.

The underlying pathology can be both inflammatory and degenerative. It affects over 400,000 Americans per year and usually strikes in the prime of life. The disease can result in serious and debilitating impairment of physical, emotional, and cognitive functions that limit patients' overall status, halt their hopes and dreams, and alter their quality of life. To slow disease progression, administration of disease-modifying treatments early in the course of disease is thought to offer the best option for patients to achieve safe and effective management of this lifelong condition. This strategy, along with symptomatic management, encompasses the newest philosophy of comprehensive MS care. From an evidence-based understanding of MS, the role of the MS nurse has been transformed from a supportive, educative role to that of a highly skilled, knowledgeable and specialized professional. The nurse is a lynchpin in a multidisciplinary team dedicated to a patient's continuing care. In addition, the role of the MS nurse has evolved to incorporate supervising MS clinical trials, monitoring patients, implementing protocols, evaluating outcomes, and ultimately contributing to evidence-based practice. Although it is important that patients receive the appropriate therapy that may slow disease progression and manage symptoms, the individualized support provided by the MS nurse is essential to the sustained use of long-term treatments. Industry-supported nurse-administered patient assistance support programs, such as the Betaseron Education, Training and Assistance Nurse/BETAPLUS TM , MS Lifelines, Shared Solutions, and Avonex Services, employ nurses who offer valuable emotional, educational, and technical support to MS patients, ensuring that their needs are met throughout the course of therapy. These MS nurse specialist programs impart knowledge about self-administration of injections and facilitate self-management to reduce adverse events and promote sustained adherence. Regular contact with patients, a consistent level of care, a trusting relationship, and a greater understanding of prescribed treatment have resulted in increased adherence to complex protocols. As the specialty of MS nursing continues to evolve within the MS healthcare team, the MS nurse will continue to have a profound influence on treatment and improving quality of life in patients with MS.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2009,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Journal of Neuroscience Nursing","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":47326395},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/12754562/The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Treatment_of_Multiple_Sclerosis","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2015-06-02T10:37:06.107-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":31798904,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":47326395,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/47326395/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Treatment_of.12.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/47326395/download_file?st=MTczMjM4NDkwOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Tr.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/47326395/The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Treatment_of.12-libre.pdf?1468856164=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Tr.pdf\u0026Expires=1732388509\u0026Signature=PVz8smXHXstyXcof8gcA9ceaFfgLS~uRFzBa61cF2xrEn~r7t~syB9whwdalUgmUrr97F4NyYWCK9N5ui-AxkYPV6KNUzZR~r0hV5JhHt76LMCFghT1mf9aGu~S4sK0dhuuYDQwJrGbHYUuU7HRMIgpt0RM1Ta6b2xFeaOLF11~Z3PVyhf83uU7IZBkDoEE385LbO~kKTgu-g6B49NkbBM1Z3NGjEkYNTeJudHgdGMNIkx277Yl-bKy1UdUSAKxfRUHbGTLuffika7p31B1HWV40MUPKXHsQN93vxczmxp5okct4u6aBxCk-r0aptMTFqUHKhAyFvokNaDMc6P~kwA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Treatment_of_Multiple_Sclerosis","translated_slug":"","page_count":13,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":31798904,"first_name":"June","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Halper","page_name":"JuneHalper","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-02T10:36:49.783-07:00","display_name":"June Halper","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/JuneHalper"},"attachments":[{"id":47326395,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/47326395/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Treatment_of.12.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/47326395/download_file?st=MTczMjM4NDkwOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Tr.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/47326395/The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Treatment_of.12-libre.pdf?1468856164=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Tr.pdf\u0026Expires=1732388509\u0026Signature=PVz8smXHXstyXcof8gcA9ceaFfgLS~uRFzBa61cF2xrEn~r7t~syB9whwdalUgmUrr97F4NyYWCK9N5ui-AxkYPV6KNUzZR~r0hV5JhHt76LMCFghT1mf9aGu~S4sK0dhuuYDQwJrGbHYUuU7HRMIgpt0RM1Ta6b2xFeaOLF11~Z3PVyhf83uU7IZBkDoEE385LbO~kKTgu-g6B49NkbBM1Z3NGjEkYNTeJudHgdGMNIkx277Yl-bKy1UdUSAKxfRUHbGTLuffika7p31B1HWV40MUPKXHsQN93vxczmxp5okct4u6aBxCk-r0aptMTFqUHKhAyFvokNaDMc6P~kwA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":588,"name":"Nursing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Nursing"},{"id":3097,"name":"Multiple sclerosis","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Multiple_sclerosis"},{"id":93175,"name":"Neuroscience Nursing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Neuroscience_Nursing"},{"id":1239755,"name":"Neurosciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Neurosciences"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

Practical guidelines help nurses identify and care for cognitively impaired MS patients.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/12754561/Rethinking_Cognitive_Function_in_Multiple_Sclerosis_A_Nursing_Perspective","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2015-06-02T10:37:05.945-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":31798904,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Rethinking_Cognitive_Function_in_Multiple_Sclerosis_A_Nursing_Perspective","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":31798904,"first_name":"June","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Halper","page_name":"JuneHalper","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-02T10:36:49.783-07:00","display_name":"June Halper","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/JuneHalper"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":588,"name":"Nursing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Nursing"},{"id":3097,"name":"Multiple sclerosis","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Multiple_sclerosis"},{"id":64568,"name":"Humans","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Humans"},{"id":93175,"name":"Neuroscience Nursing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Neuroscience_Nursing"},{"id":98925,"name":"Female","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Female"},{"id":295155,"name":"Middle Aged","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Middle_Aged"},{"id":1239755,"name":"Neurosciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Neurosciences"},{"id":1627527,"name":"Cognition disorders","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cognition_disorders"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

The majority of participants reported having adapted to MS and aging. They described several themes and subthemes that seemed to influence their levels of adaptation: Social comparisons, mobility/independence, integration of MS into self-identity, acceptance, pacing and planning, finding meaning/cognitive reframing, social support, religion/spirituality and generativity. The themes identified in this investigation are generally supported by the literatures on adaptation to MS and adaptation to aging. However, this is the first study to examine these factors in an older MS sample.

Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has received extensive attention in MS; however samples tend to be young. The present study assesses the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of the MS Quality of Life Inventory (MSQLI), a widely employed measure of HRQOL, in older individuals. Select subscales of the MSQLI and other measures of mental health and physical functioning were administered by telephone to 30 randomly selected older ( &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;or= 60) individuals and a gender-matched sample of younger ( &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; 60) individuals. Reliability estimates were calculated separately for each group. Construct (convergent) validity was assessed by examining the pattern of correlations between MSQLI subscales and measures of related constructs in the two groups. Reliability estimates were similar in the two groups. With few exceptions, the correlations measuring convergent validity were in the expected direction, and of considerable magnitude, in both groups. Results provide preliminary evidence that the MSQLI is a reliable and valid instrument for use with older individuals.

The MMMS demonstrated satisfactory reliability and validity and is recommended for use by MS patients and their health-care providers as a mechanism to promote the sharing of health information, to the benefit of both patients and providers.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/12754568/Monitoring_My_Multiple_Sclerosis","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2015-06-02T10:37:07.304-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":31798904,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"Monitoring_My_Multiple_Sclerosis","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":31798904,"first_name":"June","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Halper","page_name":"JuneHalper","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-02T10:36:49.783-07:00","display_name":"June Halper","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/JuneHalper"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="12754567"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/12754567/The_Relation_Between_Subjective_and_Objective_Measures_of_Everyday_Life_Activities_in_Persons_With_Multiple_Sclerosis"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of The Relation Between Subjective and Objective Measures of Everyday Life Activities in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://attachments.academia-assets.com/45960028/thumbnails/1.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/12754567/The_Relation_Between_Subjective_and_Objective_Measures_of_Everyday_Life_Activities_in_Persons_With_Multiple_Sclerosis">The Relation Between Subjective and Objective Measures of Everyday Life Activities in Persons With Multiple Sclerosis</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Archives of Physical Medicine and Rehabilitation</span><span>, 2005</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Goverover Y, Kalmar J, Gaudino-Goering E, Shawaryn M, Moore NB, Halper J, DeLuca J.

However, the relationship between these cognitive and functional deficits has not been thoroughly investigated. The purpose of this study was to examine the role of cognitive dysfunction in the functional status of individuals with MS. Participants were 74 adults with MS and 35 healthy comparison participants (HCs) who underwent neuropsychological testing and completed the Executive Functions Performance Test (EFPT; Baum, , an objective measure of everyday life activities. Between-groups comparisons and correlational analyses were conducted to examine the relationship between cognition and functional capacity. Significant differences in EFPT performance were revealed between individuals with MS with and without cognitive impairment and HCs. In individuals with MS, performance on cognitive constructs was related to performance on the EFPT. Furthermore, a linear regression model comprised of indices of cognitive functioning explained a significant portion of the variance in everyday life activities. Findings suggest that individuals with and without cognitive impairment differ in functional status and that aspects of cognition are predictive of functional status in

The underlying pathology can be both inflammatory and degenerative. It affects over 400,000 Americans per year and usually strikes in the prime of life. The disease can result in serious and debilitating impairment of physical, emotional, and cognitive functions that limit patients' overall status, halt their hopes and dreams, and alter their quality of life. To slow disease progression, administration of disease-modifying treatments early in the course of disease is thought to offer the best option for patients to achieve safe and effective management of this lifelong condition. This strategy, along with symptomatic management, encompasses the newest philosophy of comprehensive MS care. From an evidence-based understanding of MS, the role of the MS nurse has been transformed from a supportive, educative role to that of a highly skilled, knowledgeable and specialized professional. The nurse is a lynchpin in a multidisciplinary team dedicated to a patient's continuing care. In addition, the role of the MS nurse has evolved to incorporate supervising MS clinical trials, monitoring patients, implementing protocols, evaluating outcomes, and ultimately contributing to evidence-based practice. Although it is important that patients receive the appropriate therapy that may slow disease progression and manage symptoms, the individualized support provided by the MS nurse is essential to the sustained use of long-term treatments. Industry-supported nurse-administered patient assistance support programs, such as the Betaseron Education, Training and Assistance Nurse/BETAPLUS TM , MS Lifelines, Shared Solutions, and Avonex Services, employ nurses who offer valuable emotional, educational, and technical support to MS patients, ensuring that their needs are met throughout the course of therapy. These MS nurse specialist programs impart knowledge about self-administration of injections and facilitate self-management to reduce adverse events and promote sustained adherence. Regular contact with patients, a consistent level of care, a trusting relationship, and a greater understanding of prescribed treatment have resulted in increased adherence to complex protocols. As the specialty of MS nursing continues to evolve within the MS healthcare team, the MS nurse will continue to have a profound influence on treatment and improving quality of life in patients with MS.","publication_date":{"day":null,"month":null,"year":2009,"errors":{}},"publication_name":"Journal of Neuroscience Nursing","grobid_abstract_attachment_id":47326395},"translated_abstract":null,"internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/12754562/The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Treatment_of_Multiple_Sclerosis","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2015-06-02T10:37:06.107-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":31798904,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[{"id":47326395,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/47326395/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Treatment_of.12.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/47326395/download_file?st=MTczMjM4NDkwOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjM4NDkwOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Tr.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/47326395/The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Treatment_of.12-libre.pdf?1468856164=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Tr.pdf\u0026Expires=1732388509\u0026Signature=PVz8smXHXstyXcof8gcA9ceaFfgLS~uRFzBa61cF2xrEn~r7t~syB9whwdalUgmUrr97F4NyYWCK9N5ui-AxkYPV6KNUzZR~r0hV5JhHt76LMCFghT1mf9aGu~S4sK0dhuuYDQwJrGbHYUuU7HRMIgpt0RM1Ta6b2xFeaOLF11~Z3PVyhf83uU7IZBkDoEE385LbO~kKTgu-g6B49NkbBM1Z3NGjEkYNTeJudHgdGMNIkx277Yl-bKy1UdUSAKxfRUHbGTLuffika7p31B1HWV40MUPKXHsQN93vxczmxp5okct4u6aBxCk-r0aptMTFqUHKhAyFvokNaDMc6P~kwA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"slug":"The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Treatment_of_Multiple_Sclerosis","translated_slug":"","page_count":13,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":31798904,"first_name":"June","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Halper","page_name":"JuneHalper","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-02T10:36:49.783-07:00","display_name":"June Halper","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/JuneHalper"},"attachments":[{"id":47326395,"title":"","file_type":"pdf","scribd_thumbnail_url":"https://attachments.academia-assets.com/47326395/thumbnails/1.jpg","file_name":"The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Treatment_of.12.pdf","download_url":"https://www.academia.edu/attachments/47326395/download_file?st=MTczMjM4NDkwOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&st=MTczMjM4NDkwOSw4LjIyMi4yMDguMTQ2&","bulk_download_file_name":"The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Tr.pdf","bulk_download_url":"https://d1wqtxts1xzle7.cloudfront.net/47326395/The_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Treatment_of.12-libre.pdf?1468856164=\u0026response-content-disposition=attachment%3B+filename%3DThe_Evolving_Role_of_the_Nurse_in_the_Tr.pdf\u0026Expires=1732388509\u0026Signature=PVz8smXHXstyXcof8gcA9ceaFfgLS~uRFzBa61cF2xrEn~r7t~syB9whwdalUgmUrr97F4NyYWCK9N5ui-AxkYPV6KNUzZR~r0hV5JhHt76LMCFghT1mf9aGu~S4sK0dhuuYDQwJrGbHYUuU7HRMIgpt0RM1Ta6b2xFeaOLF11~Z3PVyhf83uU7IZBkDoEE385LbO~kKTgu-g6B49NkbBM1Z3NGjEkYNTeJudHgdGMNIkx277Yl-bKy1UdUSAKxfRUHbGTLuffika7p31B1HWV40MUPKXHsQN93vxczmxp5okct4u6aBxCk-r0aptMTFqUHKhAyFvokNaDMc6P~kwA__\u0026Key-Pair-Id=APKAJLOHF5GGSLRBV4ZA"}],"research_interests":[{"id":588,"name":"Nursing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Nursing"},{"id":3097,"name":"Multiple sclerosis","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Multiple_sclerosis"},{"id":93175,"name":"Neuroscience Nursing","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Neuroscience_Nursing"},{"id":1239755,"name":"Neurosciences","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Neurosciences"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData });

up to 65% of patients exhibit some neuropsychological dysfunction during the course of their disease. It is a major contributing factor to unemployment, accidents, impairment of daily functioning, and loss of social activity in those affected by MS. The areas of cognition typically impaired are memory, attention, information processing, executive functions, and visuospatial skills. Cognitive dysfunction is independent of disease duration and level of disability; cognitive decline may begin in the earliest stages of MS before patients become even mildly disabled. Structural brain imaging studies show a positive correlation between the extent of brain atrophy and cognitive dysfunction. Despite its prevalence in MS, cognitive dysfunction often goes undiagnosed or is misdiagnosed as depression, stress, stubbornness, lack of intelligence, or psychosis. Because nurses play such an important role in the care of patients with MS, they are in a position to identify patients with cognitive dysfunction, educate patients and their families on ways to cope with cognitive deficits, and counsel patients on available treatment options.

Moreover, many of these themes are potentially modifiable through clinical intervention, and should be examined in future research with this population.","internal_url":"https://www.academia.edu/12754558/A_qualitative_investigation_of_adaptation_in_older_individuals_with_multiple_sclerosis","translated_internal_url":"","created_at":"2015-06-02T10:37:05.461-07:00","preview_url":null,"current_user_can_edit":null,"current_user_is_owner":null,"owner_id":31798904,"coauthors_can_edit":true,"document_type":"paper","co_author_tags":[],"downloadable_attachments":[],"slug":"A_qualitative_investigation_of_adaptation_in_older_individuals_with_multiple_sclerosis","translated_slug":"","page_count":null,"language":"en","content_type":"Work","owner":{"id":31798904,"first_name":"June","middle_initials":null,"last_name":"Halper","page_name":"JuneHalper","domain_name":"independent","created_at":"2015-06-02T10:36:49.783-07:00","display_name":"June Halper","url":"https://independent.academia.edu/JuneHalper"},"attachments":[],"research_interests":[{"id":3097,"name":"Multiple sclerosis","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Multiple_sclerosis"},{"id":5677,"name":"Adaptation","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Adaptation"},{"id":6791,"name":"Aging","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Aging"},{"id":11015,"name":"Social Support","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Social_Support"},{"id":64568,"name":"Humans","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Humans"},{"id":98925,"name":"Female","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Female"},{"id":111545,"name":"Male","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Male"},{"id":289271,"name":"Aged","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Aged"},{"id":295155,"name":"Middle Aged","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Middle_Aged"},{"id":1819400,"name":"Cohort Studies","url":"https://www.academia.edu/Documents/in/Cohort_Studies"}],"urls":[]}, dispatcherData: dispatcherData }); $(this).data('initialized', true); } }); $a.trackClickSource(".js-work-strip-work-link", "profile_work_strip") }); </script> <div class="js-work-strip profile--work_container" data-work-id="12754557"><div class="profile--work_thumbnail hidden-xs"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-thumbnail" href="https://www.academia.edu/12754557/Reliability_and_validity_of_the_Multiple_Sclerosis_Quality_of_Life_Inventory_in_older_individuals"><img alt="Research paper thumbnail of Reliability and validity of the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Inventory in older individuals" class="work-thumbnail" src="https://a.academia-assets.com/images/blank-paper.jpg" /></a></div><div class="wp-workCard wp-workCard_itemContainer"><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--title"><a class="js-work-strip-work-link text-gray-darker" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-title" href="https://www.academia.edu/12754557/Reliability_and_validity_of_the_Multiple_Sclerosis_Quality_of_Life_Inventory_in_older_individuals">Reliability and validity of the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Inventory in older individuals</a></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span>Disability & Rehabilitation</span><span>, 2003</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item"><span class="js-work-more-abstract-truncated">Despite the increasing number of older individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), there is a pauci...</span><a class="js-work-more-abstract" data-broccoli-component="work_strip.more_abstract" data-click-track="profile-work-strip-more-abstract" href="javascript:;"><span> more </span><span><i class="fa fa-caret-down"></i></span></a><span class="js-work-more-abstract-untruncated hidden">Despite the increasing number of older individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), there is a paucity of research on this subpopulation. Health-related quality of life (HRQOL) has received extensive attention in MS; however samples tend to be young. The present study assesses the internal consistency reliability and construct validity of the MS Quality of Life Inventory (MSQLI), a widely employed measure of HRQOL, in older individuals. Select subscales of the MSQLI and other measures of mental health and physical functioning were administered by telephone to 30 randomly selected older ( &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;gt;or= 60) individuals and a gender-matched sample of younger ( &amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;amp;lt; 60) individuals. Reliability estimates were calculated separately for each group. Construct (convergent) validity was assessed by examining the pattern of correlations between MSQLI subscales and measures of related constructs in the two groups. Reliability estimates were similar in the two groups. With few exceptions, the correlations measuring convergent validity were in the expected direction, and of considerable magnitude, in both groups. Results provide preliminary evidence that the MSQLI is a reliable and valid instrument for use with older individuals. The slightly different pattern of results observed in the validity analysis might be explained by an adjustment hypothesis. Future research on HRQOL in this subpopulation is encouraged.</span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--actions"><span class="work-strip-bookmark-button-container"></span><span class="wp-workCard--action visible-if-viewed-by-owner inline-block" style="display: none;"><span class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper profile-work-strip-edit-button-wrapper" data-work-id="12754557"><a class="js-profile-work-strip-edit-button" tabindex="0"><span><i class="fa fa-pencil"></i></span><span>Edit</span></a></span></span><span id="work-strip-rankings-button-container"></span></div><div class="wp-workCard_item wp-workCard--stats"><span><span><span class="js-view-count view-count u-mr2x" data-work-id="12754557"><i class="fa fa-spinner fa-spin"></i></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12754557; window.Academia.workViewCountsFetcher.queue(workId, function (count) { var description = window.$h.commaizeInt(count) + " " + window.$h.pluralize(count, 'View'); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=12754557]").text(description); $(".js-view-count[data-work-id=12754557]").attr('title', description).tooltip(); }); });</script></span></span><span><span class="percentile-widget hidden"><span class="u-mr2x work-percentile"></span></span><script>$(function () { var workId = 12754557; window.Academia.workPercentilesFetcher.queue(workId, function (percentileText) { var container = $(".js-work-strip[data-work-id='12754557']"); container.find('.work-percentile').text(percentileText.charAt(0).toUpperCase() + percentileText.slice(1)); container.find('.percentile-widget').show(); container.find('.percentile-widget').removeClass('hidden'); }); });</script></span><span><script>$(function() { new Works.PaperRankView({ workId: 12754557, container: "", }); });</script></span></div><div id="work-strip-premium-row-container"></div></div></div><script> require.config({ waitSeconds: 90 })(["https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/wow_profile-f77ea15d77ce96025a6048a514272ad8becbad23c641fc2b3bd6e24ca6ff1932.js","https://a.academia-assets.com/assets/work_edit-ad038b8c047c1a8d4fa01b402d530ff93c45fee2137a149a4a5398bc8ad67560.js"], function() { // from javascript_helper.rb var dispatcherData = {} if (false){ window.WowProfile.dispatcher = window.WowProfile.dispatcher || _.clone(Backbone.Events); dispatcherData = { dispatcher: window.WowProfile.dispatcher, downloadLinkId: "-1" } } $('.js-work-strip[data-work-id=12754557]').each(function() { if (!$(this).data('initialized')) { new WowProfile.WorkStripView({ el: this, workJSON: {"id":12754557,"title":"Reliability and validity of the Multiple Sclerosis Quality of Life Inventory in older individuals","translated_title":"","metadata":{"abstract":"Despite the increasing number of older individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS), there is a paucity of research on this subpopulation.
