Most multiple sclerosis (MS) patients perform self-injections with immunomodulating agents, especially with nurse training and support. Proper needle disposal remains a significant challenge for these patients.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Immunology
  • Patient Care

Context:

  • Multiple Sclerosis (MS) management involves immunomodulating therapies requiring patient administration.
  • Self-injection is a common method for delivering these treatments in the Poitou-Charentes region.
  • Patient training and ongoing support are crucial for effective self-administration.

Purpose:

  • To assess the prevalence and factors influencing self-injection in multiple sclerosis patients.
  • To identify challenges associated with self-injection, particularly regarding waste disposal.
  • To evaluate the impact of nursing support on self-injection practices.

Summary:

  • A survey of 164 multiple sclerosis patients revealed over 60% perform self-injections.
  • Patients receiving specialized nurse training and telephone assistance showed significantly higher rates of self-injection.

  • Safe disposal of injection materials, especially needles, emerged as a critical issue.

    • Impact:

    • Highlights the importance of comprehensive patient education and support systems for self-administered therapies.
    • Underscores the need for improved protocols and resources for managing medical waste from self-injections.
    • Informs healthcare providers about key areas for intervention to enhance patient adherence and safety in MS treatment.
