Brief summary

Researchers at The University of Melbourne are seeking to investigate how individuals’ coping styles and illness representations mediate the relationship between dispositional personality traits and adjustment to Multiple Sclerosis. Adjustment in the context of this research study, refers to both feelings of depression and anxiety and individual’s illness acceptance. Researchers aim to develop a greater understanding of the experiences associated with Multiple Sclerosis and identify appropriate targets for interventions to promote adaptive adjustment.
