This study was a semi-experimental (pretest, posttest whit control group) design. Of the MS patients of the Iranian MS society, a sample of 20 subjects were chosen through random sampling and considering the availability conditions and then were put into two experimental and control group (10 patients in the experimental group and 10 patients in the control group).Measurement tools of the study included Schneider‘s life expectancy questionnaire and Cohen’s perceived stress scale.
