Abstract

This study assessed predictors of sexual functioning in people living with multiple sclerosis. Disability, sex life belief and perceived effectiveness of self-management interventions were independently predictive of sexual functioning when accounting for demographic and other intervention covariates. Increased knowledge and self-efficacy for self-management interventions are critical for improved sexual health.
