New Collection in DRI – A Cognitive Occupation Based Programme for People with Multiple Sclerosis (IQDA)

30 May 2023

The Digital Repository of Ireland (DRI) is pleased to announce that a new collection – A Cognitive Occupation Based programme for People with Multiple Sclerosis – has been published in the Repository.

This data in this collection documents the experiences of some programme participants who live with multiple sclerosis and also experience cognitive difficulties. The data consists of transcripts of interview recordings from eleven COB-MS participants and eight COB-MS facilitators. 

Notable too is that the interviews conducted were carried out by someone living with multiple sclerosis. Commenting on this work, Sinead Hynes from NUIG said, “the public and patient involvement adds to the depth of the research. We are very happy to have this data archived as part of the DRI.”

A Cognitive Occupation Based programme for People with Multiple Sclerosis can be viewed and downloaded in the DRI Repository.
