OBJECTIVE: Psychological adjustment is a major focus in the care of people with amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS) and their caregivers, given its critical role in maintaining quality of life (QoL). This scoping review aimed to gain a better understanding of ALS patients' and caregivers' psychological adjustment, to inform future care and research.
METHODS: PubMed, Web of Science, PsycINFO, Embase and CINAHL were searched for peer-reviewed studies reporting associations of psychological factors with patient/caregiver QoL. Psychological factors were categorized by type (cognitive, emotional or behavioral responses), and by strength (weak, moderate, strong) and direction (positive, negative) of their association with patient/caregiver QoL.
RESULTS: Twenty-nine studies were included, identifying twelve cognitive responses (hope, positive thinking/reframing, psychological flexibility, resilience, coping/pain self-efficacy, helplessness, hopelessness, pain catastrophizing, rumination, self-perceived burden, self-stigma), two emotional responses (emotional support, venting) and three behavioral responses (independence, positive action, substance use) associated with patient QoL. Five cognitive responses (resilience, mindfulness, hopelessness, passive reaction coping, psychological inflexibility) and one behavioral response (positive action) were found associated with caregiver QoL.
CONCLUSIONS: A range of cognitive, emotional and behavioral responses, most notably cognitive responses, were found to shape patient and/or caregiver psychological adjustment, hence may serve as potential targets in ALS clinical practice. Nonetheless, empirical evidence is limited by heterogeneity in outcomes and measures and a lack of longitudinal, multivariable, and caregiver-oriented research. More systematic, standardized and longitudinal data collection is needed to clarify how psychological adjustment processes evolve throughout the disease trajectory and to identify modifiable targets for psychological supportive care.
