The purpose of this cross-sectional, descriptive study was to describe the relationships between learned helplessness and disease status, functional and social disability, and disease activity in the multiple sclerosis population. Additionally, the relationships between learned helplessness and age, disease duration, education and marital and employment status were evaluated. Self-report instruments with established validity and reliability in the multiple sclerosis population were used to collect the data. Learned helplessness was significantly positively correlated with social and functional disability. Although not significant at the .05 level, disease status and disease activity were also positively correlated with learned helplessness. Additionally, unemployed individuals were more likely to be helpless than employed individuals. Overall, the results suggest that learned helplessness is related to negative health indicators in the multiple sclerosis population. Nursing interventions to decrease or prevent learned helplessness may be appropriate in this population.
这项横断面描述性研究的目的是描述多发性硬化症患者群体中习得性无助与疾病状态、功能和社会残疾以及疾病活动之间的关系。此外，还评估了习得性无助与年龄、病程、教育程度以及婚姻和就业状况之间的关系。使用在多发性硬化症患者群体中具有既定效度和信度的自我报告工具来收集数据。习得性无助与社会和功能残疾显著正相关。虽然在0.05水平上不显著，但疾病状态和疾病活动也与习得性无助呈正相关。此外，失业个体比就业个体更易产生无助感。总体而言，结果表明习得性无助与多发性硬化症患者群体中的负面健康指标有关。针对该群体，采取护理干预措施以减少或预防习得性无助可能是合适的。
