| Research Abstract |
This study focused on fatigue in patients with multiple sclerosis(MS) with the aim of revealing their experiences and implementing an intervention program. The results revealed a significant impact of fatigue on the lives of MS patients, and the difficulty and dilemma of dealing with fatigue. A progressive muscle relaxation(PMR) technique was then performed on MS patients, which led to a decrease in subjective fatigue and improvement in mental QOL. On the other hand, program improvements based on the continuability and degree of symptoms were suggested as issues to be addressed.
