Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate the effectiveness of the Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) program on chronic fatigue, psychosomatic symptoms, and resilience in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). This applied study was conducted with a pre-test-post-test quasi-experimental design with a control group and a follow-up phase. The statistical population included MS patients referring to the Hormozgan MS Association in Farvardin 1404, from whom 30 people were selected by convenience sampling and randomly assigned to two experimental and control groups (15 people in each group). The experimental group received the mindfulness-based stress reduction program as a group during 8 intervention sessions by a psychologist, while the control group did not receive any intervention. The research instruments included the Fatigue Scale, the Psychosomatic Symptoms Questionnaire, and the Connor-Davidson Resilience Scale. The data were analyzed using analysis of variance with repeated measures.

The findings showed that the mindfulness-based stress reduction program intervention significantly reduced chronic fatigue and psychosomatic symptoms, as well as significantly increased resilience in the experimental group compared to the control group. The results of the follow-up phase also showed that the effects of the intervention remained largely stable. The largest effect size was related to psychosomatic symptoms, followed by resilience, which indicates the effective role of this intervention in improving emotional regulation and reducing physical symptoms related to stress. In summary, the results of this study indicate that the mindfulness-based stress reduction program can be used as an effective complementary intervention in improving the psychological and physical status of patients with MS and play an important role in improving their quality of life.
