Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study is to investigate the associations between self-compassion, mindfulness, emotional factors and multiple sclerosis (MS) related quality of life among the individuals with MS in Istanbul, Turkey.

Results: One hundred and thirteen MS patients participated in this cross-sectional study. In the linear regression model, older age, higher levels of disability, and higher anxiety levels significantly predicted lower MS related quality of life (p = .045, p = .023, p ≤ .001, respectively). Mindfulness component of the self-compassion scale significantly predicted better MS related quality of life (p = .007). The self-kindness and mindfulness subscale scores of the Self-Compassion Scale were positively and significantly correlated with the total scores of the Multiple Sclerosis International Quality of Life Questionnaire (r = .324, p = .003; r = .314, p = .003, respectively).

Discussion: These findings indicate that a high level of self-compassion and mindfulness has a positive impact on the quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis. Considering these effects within social dimensions, such as family and friendship, may contribute to improving patients' overall quality of life.

正念和自我同情对多发性硬化症患者生活质量的影响，来自土耳其的横断面研究。

目的：本研究旨在探讨土耳其伊斯坦布尔地区多发性硬化症（MS）患者自我同情、正念、情绪因素与MS相关生活质量的关系。结果：113例MS患者参与了本横断面研究。在线性回归模型中，年龄越大、残疾程度越高、焦虑程度越高显著预测MS相关生活质量越低（p = 0.045, p = 0.023, p≤0.001）。自我同情量表的正念成分显著预测更好的MS相关生活质量（p = .007）。自我同情量表的自我友善和正念分量表得分与多发性硬化症国际生活质量问卷总分呈显著正相关(r = .324, p = .003；R = .314, p = .003)。讨论：这些发现表明，高水平的自我同情和正念对多发性硬化症患者的生活质量有积极的影响。在社会层面考虑这些影响，如家庭和友谊，可能有助于改善患者的整体生活质量。
