简要总结
This cross-sectional observational study aims to investigate the associations between multiple sclerosis (MS) severity and caregivers' sleep quality, physical activity, body awareness, perceived stress, and caregiver burden. A total of 68 caregivers of patients with MS will be recruited from Başkent University Hospital. MS severity will be assessed using the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), while caregiver health outcomes will be evaluated using validated questionnaires. The findings are expected to provide insight into the multidimensional impact of MS severity on caregiver health and well-being.
详细描述
This cross-sectional observational study aims to investigate the associations between multiple sclerosis (MS) severity and caregivers' sleep quality, physical activity, body awareness, perceived stress, and caregiver burden.
A total of 68 caregivers of individuals with MS will be included. Disease severity will be assessed using the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS). Caregiver outcomes will be evaluated using the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI), International Physical Activity Questionnaire-Short Form (IPAQ-SF), Body Awareness Questionnaire (BAQ), Perceived Stress Scale (PSS), and Zarit Burden Interview (ZBI).
The study will examine the relationships between MS severity and caregiver health outcomes within the framework of the International Classification of Functioning, Disability and Health (ICF). No therapeutic intervention will be administered.
