The associations between caregivers’ psychological characteristics and patients’ apathy symptoms in multiple sclerosis
These findings highlight the need to comprehensively assess all dimensions of apathy and integrate the caregiver's perspective in its assessment. Tailored interventions should focus on reinforcing adaptive coping mechanisms to mitigate caregiver distress, associated with caregiver-reported patient apathy, ultimately improving the well-being of both PwMS and their caregivers.
