“…Because of the impact of resilience on psychological and physical health, and because it can be improved [ 78 ], resilience deserves greater attention in MS care. Support groups have proven especially effective at resilience-building [ 78 , 79 , 80 , 81 ], and they remain some of the most accessible and cost-efficient tools for mental health improvement [ 82 ].…”

(1) Background: Multiple Sclerosis (MS) is a chronic, progressive, immune-mediated disorder that affects the Central Nervous System and is the most common cause of non-traumatic neurological disability in young adults. The study aimed to assess the levels of stress, resilience, well-being, sleep quality, and fatigue in Israeli people with MS (PwMS), and to examine the associations between these factors and the sociodemographic and clinical characteristics. These factors had never before been studied in conjunction in PwMS, nor had they been systematically addressed in Israel, the unique geopolitical situation of which may pose unique challenges. (2) Methods: This was a survey-based, cross-sectional study conducted through an Internet platform. (3) Results: Israeli PwMS who participated in the study were experiencing relatively high levels of stress and low resilience, poor sleep quality, and severe fatigue. The analysis revealed significant associations between resilience and stress, well-being, and anxiety, as well as stress and well-being, resilience, sleep quality, fatigue, and Clinically Isolated Syndrome (CIS). (4) Conclusions: the Israeli PwMS who participated in the study were experiencing higher levels of stress, lower resilience and worse sleep quality than PwMS in other countries, as compared to results previously reported in literature. The findings of this study ought to serve as a call to action for the MS care providers in Israel and warrant further research into the possible causes of the phenomenon and strategies to address it.

“…In addressing these challenges, it is crucial to increase knowledge within families and communities about identifying mental disorders and implementing effective management strategies (Damaiyanti et al, 2021). Innovative approaches, such as faith-based mental health support groups, have been developed to promote resilience and recovery, emphasizing psychoeducation, peer support, and faith encouragement (Phoenix, 2014). Moreover, mental health professionals have emphasized the importance of reducing stigma, facilitating coordination of care and resources, and developing initiatives tailored to the specific needs of populations (Martínez et al, 2023).…”

Objective: This review aims to explore the dynamics of communication within families and its impacts on mental health, highlighting the role of various communication patterns in shaping mental well-being. Methods and Materials: Employing a descriptive narrative review approach, this article synthesizes contemporary literature from databases such as PubMed, PsycINFO, and Web of Science, focusing on studies published between 2000 and 2023. The selection criteria targeted empirical studies examining the relationship between family communication patterns and mental health outcomes across diverse cultural contexts. Findings: The review identifies key communication patterns within families, including open, supportive, and conflictual communications, and their significant impacts on mental health. It reveals that positive communication patterns are associated with better mental health outcomes, while negative patterns correlate with adverse mental health effects. The findings also underscore the importance of cultural and contextual factors in understanding these relationships. Conclusion: Strengthening family communication patterns offers a critical pathway to enhancing mental health. Future research should focus on developing targeted interventions that foster positive family communication and address the nuanced needs of diverse populations.
