| Popis: | Objective: To investigate the course of anxiety, depression and disease-related distress of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) and their partners in the first years after diagnosis. Methods: The Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS) and Impact of Event Scale (IES) were completed at baseline, six-month, one-and two-year follow-up in 101 recently diagnosed patients and 78 partners. The Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) was assessed annually. Results: Mean time since diagnosis at baseline was 7.8 (SD 6.5) months. Mean anxiety scores of patients and partners did not change during the two years of follow-up and remained higher than that observed in the general population at all assessments (P Conclusion: MS patients and their partners continued to have high levels of anxiety and distress in the first years after diagnosis. Screening for anxiety after diagnosis can be used to predict levels of anxiety and distress during two-year follow-up. |
