dc.description.abstract The study aims to investigate Multiple Sclerosis (MS) experiences of couples. Using a dyadic qualitative method, separate simultaneous interviews were conducted with 20 couples, including one partner with MS. The themes resulting from content analysis were examined in two categories: Convergent (anxiety about future, acceptance of MS and MS as an accelerator of the relationship) and divergent (sexual problems, the experience of MS symptoms, the priority of the problems and untold issues). The findings revealed shared and unique perspectives of partners in the illness process, having the potential to guide the psychosocial interventions for couples living with a chronic illness. en_US
