The aim of the article is to study the quality of life of patients with multiple sclerosis
and the relationship of the diagnosis with the emotional state and the level of fear of
negative evaluation in comparison with conditionally healthy people. To assess these
indicators, the author’s socio-biographical questionnaire, the Hospital Scale of Anxiety
and Depression, the WHO–26 Short Questionnaire of Quality of Life, the Scale of Fear
of Negative assessment, and the Questionnaire of resilience in the Osin-Rasskazova
version were used. The study involved 32 patients; the control group included 33
people. The level of quality of life of patients is lower compared to conditionally healthy
people (p=0.013), it also positively correlates with indicators of resilience (p=0.000).
