简要总结
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a chronic neurodegenerative disease and a leading cause of reduced workforce participation due to neurological illness in Western countries. Over the past 30 years, new treatments have reduced symptom burden, allowing patients to stay in the workforce longer. However, fatigue and cognitive impairments remain major barriers to work capacity. This project aims to preliminary examine the impact of cognitive function on work ability, and assess the role of neuropsychologists in multidisciplinary rehabilitation teams. It consists of a feasibility study evaluating the integration of neuropsychological interventions into teambased work-oriented rehabilitation. The specific research questions are:
- How can neuropsychological interventions be integrated into team-based work-oriented rehabilitation?
- How do these interventions relate to work ability and well-being in individuals with MS? The investigators plan to collect data on 20 consecutively patients with MS before, 6 months after and 2 years after a neuropsychological testing and intervention. The patients are being followed on measures related to well-being and work ability. Data from the neuropsychological assessment, other rehabilitation interventions as well as data related to treatment and progress of MS are also collected.
Our findings aim to enhance work-oriented rehabilitation and provide a deeper understanding of how to support individuals with MS in maintaining employment and overall well-being

结局指标
主要结局
Work participation
时间窗: From baseline to 2-year follow-up
Percentage of full-time work. 100 % full-time work and 0% is not working at all.
Hospital anxiety and depression scale
时间窗: From baseline to 2-year follow-up
Self-assessment of anxiety and depression. Consists of two scales measuring the probability of having anxiety and depression respectively. Min score 0, max 21 for each scale. Higher scores indicate higher probability of anxiety/depression.
WHO-5 Well-Being Index
时间窗: From baseline to 2-year follow-up
Overall rating of well-being. The WHO-5 score range is a raw score of 0-25, which is then multiplied by 4 to get a percentage score of 0-100. Higher score indicates higher well-being.
Brief index of job satisfaction
时间窗: From baseline to 2-year follow-up
The Brief Index of Affective Job Satisfaction (BIAJS) has a score range of 1 to 5 for each of its four items, based on a 5-point Likert scale where 1 is "strongly disagree" and 5 is "strongly agree". The total BIAJS score is the sum of these four items, resulting in a possible range from 4 to 20, with higher scores indicating greater affective job satisfaction.
次要结局
- Quantative work demands(From baseline to 2-year follow-up)
- Can-Work-S(From baseline to 2-year follow-up)
