View Award Abstract

Kessler Foundation, in partnership with Craig Hospital and key stakeholders will, over the course of this three-year project, adapt and examine the efficacy of an existing intervention, the Reinventing Yourself after SCI, which has been proven effective among individuals with spinal cord injury (SCI), for use in multiple sclerosis (MS). The Reinvention intervention is aimed at improving self-efficacy, psychological well-being, and quality of life via cognitive behavioral therapy and positive psychology techniques. The goal of this project is to adapt and implement the intervention for use in MS. The objectives are: (1) Conduct focus groups with individuals with MS to identify the unique needs of individuals with MS and its integration into the Reinvention intervention, while maintaining the integrity and the existing intervention; and (2) Conduct a randomized controlled trial to determine the feasibility and efficacy of the intervention. Anticipated outcomes include: 1) Increased general and MS-specific self-efficacy among individuals in the treatment group (primary outcome); and (2) Improved coping, psychological well-being, quality of life, and participation among those in the treatment group (secondary outcomes). The expected product is an adapted manualized intervention, Reinventing Yourself with MS to be utilized in future research and clinical care among individuals with MS.
