What this trial is about
People with MS (PwMS) are at increased risk of leaving work earlier than expected. Psychological factors that affect PwMS may make it more difficult to manage staying in work. These can include psychological flexibility and self efficacy. Psychological flexibility is the ability to effectively manage unwanted inner experiences (e.g., thoughts, memories, bodily sensations) in the present. Self-efficacy is the self-belief that an individual has in their ability to succeed.
