- Abstract
Purpose: This study aimed to examine the patients' perceived social support, mental health, and marital satisfaction. Design and Methods: Data were collected via Patient Information Form, Barthel Index of Activities of Daily Living, Marital Life Scale, Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support, and General Health Questionnaire for 72 patients. Findings: Multiple sclerosis (MS) patients had a moderate level of marital satisfaction. The perceived social support showed positive correlation with marital satisfaction and negative correlation with mental health disorders in MS. Practice Implications: These results will facilitate the perception of mental problems, marital satisfaction, and social support in MS patients by the nurses.
