Ninety-five pairs of MS patients in exacerbation and remission were compared on emotional stress in the previous three months. Patients in exacerbation scored higher on emotional disturbance and intensity of stressful events than patients in remission, but lower on frequency of compensating uplifts. There was also a tendency for more patients in exacerbation than remission to favour emotion-focused coping techniques over problem-solving or social support. Whether patients building to an exacerbation over-react to various events or unresolved emotional stress precipitates exacerbations, MS patients might benefit from counselling in stress reduction techniques.
对95对处于病情加重期和缓解期的多发性硬化症患者在前三个月的情绪压力进行了比较。病情加重期的患者在情绪困扰和应激事件强度方面的得分高于缓解期的患者,但在补偿性情绪高涨的频率方面得分较低。与缓解期的患者相比,病情加重期的患者也更倾向于采用以情绪为中心的应对技巧,而非解决问题或寻求社会支持的技巧。无论是病情加重的患者对各种事件反应过度,还是未解决的情绪压力引发病情加重,多发性硬化症患者都可能从减压技巧咨询中受益。
