  • Development of a Cognitive Behavioral Group Intervention Programme for Patients with Multiple Sclerosis

    Open AccessMariëlle A J Visschedijk, Emma H Collette et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports2004

    A substantial group of patients with multiple sclerosis (MS) has difficulty coping with their disease. Cognitive behavioral group interventions may help these patients cope more effectively with MS. We developed an 8-session group intervention programme for patients recently diagnosed with MS to help them cope more effectively with MS and to overcome negative thoughts and beliefs about the disease to improve health-related quality of life. We tes…

    Open AccessLilian Pfennings, Leo Cohen et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1999

    Questionnaires measuring health-related quality of life are increasingly used in international studies of medical effectiveness.

All groups used the 36-item Short Form Health …

On the basis of differences in clinical course and underlying pathology we hypothesized that primary progressive patients and secondary progressive patients might have different psychological functioning. Seventy patients treated in an MS centre were examined cross‐sectionally. Forty had an SP c…

  • Preconditions for Sensitivity in Measuring Change

    Open AccessLilian Pfennings, Leo Cohen et al.ARTICLEPsychological Reports1995

    In a study of preconditions of responsiveness, we examined the variances obtained by two different ways of responding to questionnaire items. Subjects were 168 first-year medical students. They all completed a questionnaire of nine items. The original Likert-like scoring was (partially) replaced by visual analogue scoring in three quarters of the questionnaires. For three items the analogue form had a significantly greater variance than the discr…
