在50名多发性硬化症(MS)患者的样本中，能够全职工作的参与者(W)、减少工作时间的人(CB)和失业的人(NW)在人口统计学、疾病变量和症状方面进行了比较，参与者认为这些变量和症状是导致他们工作状态变化的原因。NW组的身体残疾程度显著高于其他两组，疲劳程度显著高于W组。与NW组相比，CB组拥有更多的教育年限和更高的职业声望评级。与NW组相比，W组的情绪障碍明显更严重。就业状况与年龄、性别、智商总分估计、病程、诊断年限或认知功能无关。90%的CB组报告说，疲劳是导致他们工作状态变化的主要症状，而86%的NW组报告说，广泛的身体/神经症状是他们工作状态变化的原因。
In a sample of 50 individuals with multiple sclerosis ( MS), participants able to work full-time ('W'), those who reduced their hours ('CB') and those who were unemployed ('NW') were compared on demographic and disease variables and symptoms that the participants identified as being responsible for their work status change. The NW group had significantly greater physical disability than the other two groups and significantly more fatigue than the W group. The CB group had significantly more years of education and higher occupational prestige ratings than the NW group. The W group reported significantly greater mood disturbance compared with the NW group. Employment status was unrelated to age, gender, full scale IQ estimate, disease duration, diagnosis duration or cognitive functioning. Ninety per cent of the CB group reported that fatigue was a primary symptom responsible for their work status change, whereas 86% of the NW group reported that broad physical/ neurological symptoms were responsible for their change in work status.
