Summary

The primary aim of this study is to determine if a manual based telephone intervention support service for people who support people with Multiple Sclerosis (PwMS), initiated by nurse specialists who provide care to PwMS, has a positive impact on the lives of PwMS and their support persons. For support persons this impact is determined by measurable support person/carer self-efficacy and preparedness to care, burden, quality of life, service utilization and satisfaction with the support service. For PwMS this is determined by their qualitative experience of the type of care they receive from their carer. A secondary aim is to determine the possible economic benefits of the introduction of such an intervention nationally. A support person is the person nominated by the PwMS as the person who provides the most support or physical assistance to a person with MS who is not a paid service provider.
