Health & Social Care Research: Multiple Sclerosis Causes and Effects

This research project delves into Multiple Sclerosis (MS), investigating its causes and effects on patients within the health and social care context. Using a mixed-methods approach, including both qualitative and quantitative data, the study explores the impact of MS on the nervous system and spinal cord. Data was collected through questionnaires from doctors and patients, alongside secondary research from online journals and articles. The analysis highlights the involvement of affected individuals, common symptoms such as double vision and vertigo, and the effect of pregnancy on MS relapse rates. The conclusion emphasizes the significant impact of MS on individual health and well-being, the lack of public awareness, and the adverse effects on pregnant women. Recommendations include government-led awareness campaigns, stronger relationships between service providers and users, and the fulfillment of basic needs for patients. This project provides valuable insights into MS and underscores the importance of improved education and support for those affected.
