Summary

The PrEliMS study is a mixed-methods feasibility randomised controlled trial of a point of diagnosis intervention programme which aims to provide emotional support for newly diagnosed people with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). This feasibility study will enable us to plan for a definitive trial to evaluate the clinical and cost-effectiveness of this point of diagnosis intervention programme. The aim is to assess the feasibility of the trial procedures and intervention, and to evaluate the key feasibility parameters before proceeding to a definitive trial. Participants (N=60) will be randomised into three groups: (1) usual care; (2) usual care + Support 1 (MS Nurse Support); (2) usual care + Support 2 (MS Nurse Support plus Peer Support).

Conditions

Interventions

OTHER

MS Nurse Support

MS Nurse Support intervention is multi-faceted, involving various components (i.e. information provision and emotional support), and a range of strategies and techniques (e.g. psychoeducation, acceptance and commitment), delivered by MS Nurse Specialists, to provide standardised support and advice to patients at diagnosis, to establish and sustain coping strategies. MS Nurse Support intervention is person-centred and tailored to the needs and lifestyle of each participant.

OTHER

Peer Support

Peer Support will be delivered by Peer Support Workers using information provision and supportive listening to provide support and advice to patients at diagnosis, and to provide patients the opportunity to talk freely, extensively and confidentially about their experiences, thoughts and feelings about MS diagnosis and its effects on their lives in a non-judgmental and safe environment. Peer Support intervention is person-centred and tailored to the needs and lifestyle of each participant.
