Abstract
Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a demyelinating disorder with multifocal symptoms.The variety of symptoms of the disease is related to the different location of pathological changes within the central nervous system. MS is a disease for which no drug has yet been found. Strong sense of coherence, consisting of a sense of comprehensibility, manageability and meaningfulness, helps in the fight against difficulties and maintains faith in the meaningfulness of life in spite of the illness. In order to determine the magnitude of the sense of coherence in people with multiple sclerosis, Aaron Antonovsky’s scale was applied using the Life Orientation Questionnaire (SOC-29) in a form of empirical pilot study. The results did not reveal differences in the level of sense of coherence between people with MS and psychosomatically healthy respondents.
