Abstract
Objective: The purpose of study is to determine the effect of nurse led educational intervention on quality of life among multiple sclerosis patients in Lahore General Hospital, Lahore
Study Design: One-group pre-post quasi-experimental study.
Place and Duration of Study: This study was conducted at Lahore General Hospital Lahore from Marc 2024 to October 2024.
Methodology: This study employed a one-group pre-post quasi-experimental design on a sample of 100 MS patients, using purposive sampling. The research included three phases: a pre-intervention phase for baseline data collection, an intervention phase consisting of 16 educational sessions aimed at improving health literacy, fatigue management, and a post-intervention phase to reassess the same variables. Data were analyzed using SPSS version 25
Results: The result of study showed that participants were primarily young adults (45% aged 18-30) and evenly split by gender (50% male, 50% female). The majority were unmarried (78%) and illiterate (49%). Post-intervention results showed significant improvements in quality of life (from median 77.5 to 111, p < 0.001). Quality of life scores significantly improved across all groups, particularly among urban participants.
Conclusion: The nurse-led educational intervention effectively enhanced quality of life among multiple sclerosis patients. These results show that educational programs for patients are necessary to improve the outcomes of patients.
