Abstract
In the last years there has been a growing interest in self assessment of Health-related quality of life (HRQOL). Studies show a reduced HRQOL in patients with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). A sample of n=3 157 members of the German Multiple Sclerosis Association (71.7% women, aged 48.2 years on average) was analyzed regarding the correlation between coping styles and HRQOL in MS patients. The findings show reduced HRQOL in MS patients in comparison to the general population in West Germany. MSQOL-54- and MSIS-29-sumscales and FKV-LIS-scales "depressive coping" and "minimizing importance" correlate significant: a depressive or trivializing coping style accompanies with reduced mental and physical HRQOL.
