The aim of this study is to investigate the effect of an mindfulness-based stress reduction (MBSR) program designed in accordance with the literature and the basic principles of the program on fatigue, self-efficacy and stress for individuals with multiple sclerosis (MS). Thirty members of the Multiple Sclerosis Society with multiple sclerosis were randomized as experimental and control groups. Participants in the experimental group received an 8-week MBSR program by an MBSR instructor. The patients in the control group continued to visit the society for their scheduled examinations and controls; no intervention was given to them. Outcome measurements consisted of Fatigue Impact Scale (FIS), Self-Efficacy Scale and Perceived Stress Scale.
