Psychological resilience is thought to play an important role in promoting healthy aging and thus may be important in the context of aging with MS. This study aimed to evaluate whether Everyday Matters, a novel positive psychology program, had a positive effect on resilience and other related outcomes in adults with MS relative to a wait-list control group. Research Method/Design: This was a single-center two-group pilot randomized (1:1) controlled trial comparing the Everyday Matters intervention to a waitlist control. Randomized participants were&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;N&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;= 31 adults with MS aged &amp;ge; 45 years. The 6-week program, developed by the National MS Society, was delivered via group teleconference and supplemented with readings, videos, and online participation. Participants in both groups completed outcome assessments measuring resilience, satisfaction with social roles, mood, pain, fatigue, and sleep at baseline and posttreatment. Results: Analyses on&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style=&quot;box-sizing: border-box; font-family: sans-serif; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;N&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-family: sans-serif; background-color: rgb(255, 255, 255);&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;= 27 participants who completed study assessments revealed a significant group effect for resilience and satisfaction with social roles, and trend differences for positive affect and well-being and depressive symptom severity. At posttreatment, participants in the intervention group reported the group to be very helpful, found the telephone-based delivery convenient, and felt the benefits of participating outweighed the effort. Conclusions/Implications: These results suggest that the Everyday Matters program shows promise for increasing resilience in adults with MS and that a full-scale randomized controlled trial is warranted.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Methods: Masters of Occupational Therapy students (n&amp;thinsp;=&amp;thinsp;14) and Doctor of Physical Therapy students (n&amp;thinsp;=&amp;thinsp;18) completed the study during the first month of their program. Students were randomized to the experimental or control learning activity. Experimental students learned to perform simple tasks while simulating paraplegia and hemiplegia. Control students viewed videos of others completing tasks with these impairments. Before and after the learning activities, all students estimated average self-perceived health, life satisfaction, and depression ratings among people with paraplegia and hemiplegia.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Results: Experimental students increased their estimates of self-perceived health, and decreased their estimates of depression rates, among people with paraplegia and hemiplegia after the learning activity. The control activity had no effect on these estimates.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Conclusions: Impairment simulation can be an effective way to teach rehabilitation students about the adaptations that people make to physical impairments. Positive impairment simulations should allow students to experience success in completing activities of daily living with impairments. Impairment simulation is complementary to other pedagogical methods, such as simulated clinical encounters using standardized patients.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Implication of Rehabilitation:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		It is important for rehabilitation students to learn how people live well with disabilities.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		Impairment simulations can improve students&amp;rsquo; assessments of quality of life with disabilities.&lt;/li&gt;
	&lt;li&gt;
		To be beneficial, impairment simulations must include guided exposure to effective methods for completing daily tasks with disabilities.&lt;/li&gt;

Method: A self-report survey including the FSS, MFIS, demographic, and other health measures was completed by 1271 individuals with MS. Analyses evaluated the reliability and validity of the scales, assessed their dimensional structures, and estimated levels of floor and ceiling effects. Item response theory (IRT) was used to evaluate the precision of the MFIS and FSS at different levels of fatigue. Results: Participants had a mean score on the FSS of 5.1 and of 44.2 on the MFIS. Cronbach&amp;#39;s alpha values for FSS and MFIS were all 0.93 or greater. Known-groups and discriminant validity of MFIS and FSS scores were supported by the analyses. The MFIS had low floor and ceiling effects, and the FSS had low floor and moderate ceiling effects. Unidimensionality was supported for both scales. IRT analyses indicate that the FSS is less precise in measuring both low and high levels of fatigue, compared with the MFIS. Conclusions: Researchers and clinicians interested in measuring physical aspects of fatigue in samples whose fatigue ranges from mild to moderate can choose either instrument. For those interested in measuring both physical and cognitive aspects of fatigue, and whose sample is expected to have higher levels of fatigue, the MFIS is a better choice even though it is longer. IRT analyses suggest that both scales could be shortened without a significant loss of precision. (PsycINFO Database Record (c) 2012 APA, all rights reserved).&lt;/p&gt;
