| 500 ## - GENERAL NOTE | |
| General note | Purpose: This study explores the lived experiences of women living with multiple sclerosis (MS) and identifies barriers to their optimal health and well-being.<br/>Methodology: Using van Manen's interpretative phenomenologic analysis, the researchers conducted semistructured interviews with 23 women diagnosed with MS in Southwestern Ontario, Canada. Data were analyzed using NVivo 12 software, and themes were validated through member checking.<br/>Results: The study revealed a key theme of "obstacles for women with MS" and subthemes related to barriers to physical, mental, and social well-being. Participants reported experiencing feelings of health despite their MS diagnosis but identified various constraints on their optimal health and well-being, including challenges with employment, financial support, and housing security.<br/>Conclusion: The findings highlight the need for healthcare professionals to advocate for equitable treatments, medication, and accessibility supports for women with MS, as well as for policies that address disability income support and affordable housing. Further research is recommended to explore power imbalances experienced by women with MS in precarious employment situations or living with episodic disabilities. |
