Methods: 258 patients with multiple sclerosis were included in the cross-sectional study. They were assessed with the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), the Berg Balance Scale (BBS), the Timed 25-Foot Walk Test (T25-FW), the 9-Hole Peg Test (9HPT), the Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT-3) and the EQ visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS). Inferential statistics were used. Results: A positive correlation between the EQ-VAS and the BBS (r = 0.43, p < 0.01 ) and the PASAT-3 (r =%0.19, p < 0.01), and a negative correlation between the EQ-VAS and the T25FW (r = %0.42, p < 0.01) and the 9-HPT (r = %0.40, p < 0.01) were shown. A negative correlation was also observed between the EDSS and the BBS (r = %0.77, p < 0.05) as well as the EDSS and the PASAT-3 (r = %0.25, p < 0.01), and a positive correlation between the EDSS and the 9 HPT (r = 0.67, p < 0.01) and the T25-FW (r = 0.80, p < 0.01). Discussion and conclusion: Associations between the variables indicate the need for complex, personalized and rational monitoring of patients with multiple sclerosisUvod: Namen raziskave je bil ugotoviti morebitne povezave med kakovostjo življenja, nevrološko prizadetostjo in funkcionalnimi zmožnostmi pri bolnikih z multiplo sklerozo. Metode: V presečno raziskavo je bilo vključenih 258 pacientov z multiplo sklerozo. Ocenjeni so bili s pomočjo Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Berg Balance Scale (BBS), Timed 25-Foot Walk Test (T25-FW), 9-Hole Peg Test (9HPT), Paced Auditory Serial Addition Test (PASAT-3) in lestvice EQ visual analogue scale (EQ-VAS). Uporabljena je bila inferenčna statistika. Rezultati: Pokazala se je pozitivna povezava med oceno EQ-VAS ter BBS (r = 0,43, p < 0,01) in PASAT-3 (r = 0,19, p < 0,01) in negativna povezava med EQ-VAS ter T25FW (r = %0,42, p < 0,01) in 9-HPT (r = %0,40, p < 0,01). Negativne korelacije smo zaznali tudi med oceno EDSS in BBS (r = %0,77, p < 0,05) ter PASAT-3 (r = %0,25, p < 0,01), pozitivne povezave pa med EDSS in 9 HPT (r = 0,67, p < 0,01) ter T25-FW (r = 0,80, p < 0,01). Diskusija in zaključek: Povezave med navedenimi spremenljivkami kažejo na potrebo po kompleksnem, personaliziranem in racionalnem spremljanju pacientov z multiplo sklerozoTEXTznanstveno časopisjejournalsSlovenian National E-content AggregatorNational and University Library of SloveniaZbornica zdravstvene in babiške nege Slovenije - Zveza strokovnih društev medicinskih sester, babic in zdravstvenih tehnikov Slovenije
