Brief Summary:
Development and pilot testing of a cognitive self-management intervention for persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) emphasizing physical activity (PA) delivered via web-based video conference.
Detailed Description:
The primary objective of this study is to develop and pilot test an innovative cognitive self-management intervention for PwMS delivered via web-based video conferencing. Data derived from interviews will be used to guide the adaptation of Stuifbergen's 8-week Memory, Attention, and Problem-Solving Skills in MS (MAPSS-MS) intervention to be delivered via web-based video conferencing. The adapted MAPSS-MS intervention will be feasibility tested in small groups of PwMS. Outcome variables include: (1) neurocognitive function assessed using the NIH Toolbox®, a comprehensive set of psychometrically sound neuro-behavioral measures that quickly assesses cognitive functions using an iPad, (2) objective PA and sleep using Actigraph™ accelerometers, (3) self-reported sleep, depression, and fatigue using the Patient-Reported Outcome Measurement Information System (PROMIS), and (4) MS specific self-management using the Multiple Sclerosis Self-Management Scale (MSSM). Community-residing PwMS, age 21 to 70, will be recruited from Central Texas to participate in Phase 1 interviews (n=5) and Phase 2 pilot testing (n=20) of the adapted version of the 8-week MAPSS-MS cognitive self-management intervention emphasizing PA delivered via web-based video conferencing. In Phase 2 pilot testing (n=20), an intervention group (n=10) will be compared to an "enhanced usual care" control group (n=10).
