Purpose: Multiple sclerosis is a chronic and degenerative disease of the central nervous system, the symptoms of which have detrimental effects on the physical and mental health of individuals with MS. The present study aimed to investigate the impact of health literacy level and physical activity on social support, mental fatigue, and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis

The statistical sample consisted of 97 individuals with MS, purposefully selected based on the study's inclusion criteria, The data collection instruments included the Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS) , Physical Activity, the Health Literacy ,the Mental Fatigue Symptoms , the Quality of Life in MS Patients , and the Social Support questionnaires.
Results: The results demonstrated that both the level of health literacy and the level of physical activity significantly influenced social support, mental fatigue, and quality of life in patients with multiple sclerosis (MS). Specifically, patients with optimal health literacy and high physical activity reported the highest levels of social support and quality of life, and the lowest levels of mental fatigue.
Conclusion: Individuals with MS, with a better understanding of their health status and participation in appropriate physical activity, not only benefit from higher social support and experience less mental fatigue but also significantly improve their quality of life. Therefore, the design and implementation of educational programs and interventions based on a healthy lifestyle are recommended for these patients.
