Abstract

Little is known about how multiple sclerosis (MS) patients can handle their lives in order to influence the disease in a beneficial way. This study investigated whether strategies for goal selection and pursuit (model of selection, optimization, and compensation [SOC]) can be a starting point. Relationships between SOC strategies, resources and psychological variables, that are supposed to have a substantial impact on the immune system, were examined in 177 MS patients using a correlative survey design. As expected, there were relationships between SOC strategies and variables of psychoneuroimmunological relevance. Also in line with the hypotheses the SOC strategies corresponded to the amount of individual resources. SOC strategies seem to be associated with beneficial values in variables of psychoneuroimmunological relevance and may attenuate disease-related loss of resources.
