Intolerance of Uncertainty, Symptom Severity, and Disease... : Journal of Neuroscience Nursing elational design to explore the relationship between intolerance of uncertainty, symptom severity, and disease self-management in MS patients. A total of 105 MS patients followed in the neurology clinic were included in the study. RESULTS: A positive moderate correlation was found between the participants’ mean scores on the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale and the mean scores on the Monitoring My Multiple Sclerosis Scale (r=0.429; P0.01), while a negative moderate correlation was found between the participants’ mean scores on the Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale and the mean scores on the Multiple Sclerosis Self-Management Scale (r=−0.558; P0.01). CONCLUSIONS: Intolerance of uncertainty explained 18% of the total variance in symptom severity and 30% of the total variance in self-management of PwMS patients (P0.01). Intolerance of uncertainty increased symptom severity and decreased self-management level in PwMS and was an important predictor of both symptom severity and self-management. Nurses should address intolerance of uncertainty and take initiatives to reduce uncertainty in the care and treatment process of PwMS.... https://journals.lww.com/jnnonline/abstract/2025/09000/intolerance_of_uncertainty,_symptom_severity,_and.6.aspx
