Illness intrusiveness derives from illness-induced lifestyle disruptions that interfere with continued involvements in valued activities and interests and is hypothesized to represent a fundamental determinant of the psychosocial impact of chronic conditions. The present investigation compared reported levels of illness intrusiveness across 305 individuals from three chronically ill populations: rheumatoid arthritis (N = 110), end-stage renal disease (N = 101), and multiple sclerosis (N = 94). Although multiple sclerosis was significantly more intrusive, overall, into lifestyles, activities, and interests as compared with rheumatoid arthritis and end-stage renal disease (which did not differ), a significant illness group x life domain interaction indicated that intrusiveness into eight individual life domains differed significantly across the groups and that the pattern of differences varied as a function of the particular life domain involved. Differences in the constellations of signs, symptoms, and treatment regimens associated with a given condition were hypothesized to account for observed differences in illness intrusiveness.

UI MeSH Term Description Entries
D007676 Kidney Failure, Chronic The end-stage of CHRONIC RENAL INSUFFICIENCY. It is characterized by the severe irreversible kidney damage (as measured by the level of PROTEINURIA) and the reduction in GLOMERULAR FILTRATION RATE to less than 15 ml per min (Kidney Foundation: Kidney Disease Outcome Quality Initiative, 2002). These patients generally require HEMODIALYSIS or KIDNEY TRANSPLANTATION.

D009103 Multiple Sclerosis An autoimmune disorder mainly affecting young adults and characterized by destruction of myelin in the central nervous system. Pathologic findings include multiple sharply demarcated areas of demyelination throughout the white matter of the central nervous system. Clinical manifestations include visual loss, extra-ocular movement disorders, paresthesias, loss of sensation, weakness, dysarthria, spasticity, ataxia, and bladder dysfunction. The usual pattern is one of recurrent attacks followed by partial recovery (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, RELAPSING-REMITTING), but acute fulminating and chronic progressive forms (see MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS, CHRONIC PROGRESSIVE) also occur.
