Wellbeing in Multiple Sclerosis:

The role of hope, social support and coping.

• Do you have a diagnosis of MS and are over 18?
• Would you like to participate in research which aims to identify how hope and other positive psychological factors influence a person’s wellbeing and adjustment to MS?

If you answered YES to these questions you may be interested in taking part in our online research survey, hosted by the MS Society website. This is an online questionnaire investigating the psychological factors of hope, social support and coping style, and well-being in people with MS. Previous research has shown that these factors can influence levels of wellbeing in people with a chronic illness; however, so far no research has been done in people living with MS. We estimate the questionnaire will take about 20 minutes to complete.

We hope that results will increase understanding of psychological factors which influence wellbeing in MS and help improve services for people in the future.
