Summary

This project aims to implement and investigate a mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) in people with multiple sclerosis (PwMS). The main objective is to implement MBSR intervention for PwMS in a major tertiary care clinic for PwMS. We will iteratively refine the intervention as required based on stakeholder feedback and any other emergent contextual findings. Participants will be asked to take part in an 8-week MBSR course and report changes in anxiety, depression, quality of life, emotional regulation, self-compassion, mindfulness, and health services use.
