The goal of this study is to learn how a six-week, nurse-led virtual group program may affect meaning in life and quality of life in adult women living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). Many people with MS describe changes in identity, purpose, and daily life. This study will help researchers understand whether a structured group program can support women as they explore meaning and purpose while living with MS.
The main questions this study aims to answer are:
* How does the program affect how participants search for meaning in life?
* How does it affect their sense of life purpose or direction?
* How does it affect their overall quality of life?
This study uses a single-group design. All participants will take part in the six-week virtual group program. The program is led by a registered nurse and focuses on guided reflection, values exploration, and group discussion.
Participants will:
* Attend one virtual group session for one hour each week for six weeks
* Take part in guided discussions and reflection exercises
* Complete three online surveys: one before the program begins, one at Week 3, and one after Week 6
* Use a computer, tablet, or phone to join all virtual sessions
The surveys will ask about:
* How participants search for meaning in their lives
* How much purpose and direction they feel
* Their physical and emotional quality of life
There are no medications, invasive procedures, or in-person visits in this study.
