Abstract
Background and Aim:The present study aimed to investigate the relationship between stress coping styles and pain perception of MS patients during the coronavirus outbreak with the mediating role of resilience. The coronavirus outbreak and its rapid global spread have created unprecedented challenges for health care systems, and patients with MS were no exception to these problems.
Materials and Methods:The research method was correlational using the path analysis method. The statistical population included all patients with relapsing-remitting multiple sclerosis (MS) referred to the MS Research Center of SINA Hospital in Tehran in 2020-2021. A total of 300 people were selected as the research sample through the purposive sampling method. The results were analyzed using path analysis with Amos software.
Results:The results showed a negative and significant relationship between stress coping styles and pain perception of MS patients during the coronavirus outbreak. The results showed that resilience had a moderating role in the relationship between stress coping styles and pain perception of patients with MS during the coronavirus outbreak (P<0.01).
Conclusion:Resilience regulates pain management and perception in MS patients by moderating and reducing tension. Therefore, it seems that it can reduce the pain perception during the coronavirus outbreak by reducing and adjusting coping styles against stress related to COVID-19. Instead of directly confronting the source of stress and dealing with its various aspects by ignoring and considering the issue unimportant, patients can significantly reduce their anxiety.
