Area of Science:
- Neuroscience
- Rehabilitation Science
- Health Economics
Background:
- Money management is a crucial daily living activity.
- Cognitive impairments can impact financial management capabilities.
- Understanding these challenges in multiple sclerosis (MS) is vital for patient care.
Purpose of the Study:
- To compare financial management abilities in individuals with and without MS.
- To identify factors contributing to money management difficulties in MS patients.
Main Methods:
- A cross-sectional study design was employed.
- Participants included adults with MS and a control group without MS.
- Money management skills were assessed using neuropsychological tests, a survey, and functional assessments.
Main Results:
- Individuals with MS reported and demonstrated greater problems with money management compared to controls.
- Impaired cognitive functioning was significantly associated with money management difficulties.
- Self-reported functional status correlated with self-assessed money management skills.
Conclusions:
