Afrontando la Esclerosis Múltiplesentimientos y temores

Abstract

The aim of this paper is to explore and describe the feelings and fears of women suffering multiple sclerosis (MS ) in Finland, Austria and Spain. MS is a chronic degenerative disease that affects the lives of people affected and their families over decades. This is a case study conducted in the provinces of Lapland (Finland), Vorarlberg (Austria) and Alicante (Spain) through semi-structured interviews. The importance of paying attention to the feelings, dreams and fears of people with MS is to support and make visible the need to achieve their life projects, which is essential if we want to promote good practices for people with multiple sclerosis. Speaking of care and quality of life of people with MS is also to emotionally respond to people who suffer it.
