Abstract
Fatigue has a negative impact on both the performance of
daily activities and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) especially
in women with multiple sclerosis related fatigue (MSF). Previous
research has suggested that leisure participation may enhance physical
and mental health in this population, but limited research has
examined leisure participation and satisfaction in relation to MSF
and HRQoL. This study examined these relationships in women with
MSF. Sixty participants completed a demographic questionnaire and
seven known questionnaires: the Numeric Rating Scale (NRS)
(Hartrick, Koran, & Shapiro, 2003), the Depression Anxiety and Stress
Scales (DASS-21) (Lovibond & Lovibond, 1995), the Duke Social
Support Index (DSSI) (Landerman, George, Campbell, & Blazer,
1989), the Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS) (Fisk, et al., 1994), the Medical
Outcome Study Short Form (SF-36), the Leisure Satisfaction Survey
(LSS) (Beard & Ragheb, 1980), and the Classification of Leisure
Participation Scale (CLP) (Khemthong, Packer, & Passmore, 2007).
Pearson correlations indicated support for previously reported
correlations between health, fatigue, pain, depression and other nonleisure
variables. Positive relationships between physical leisure and
physical health; and leisure satisfaction and mental health were also
found. Most importantly, stepwise regression analysis found that
social leisure contributed to the prediction of physical health,
indicating that leisure participation in social activities may enhance
physical health in women with MSF
