摘要	Background: Persons with multiple sclerosis (PwMS) reported lower emotional competencies (EC) and higher symptoms of depression (SD), compared to the general population. Mental Toughness (MT) reflects a person’s mental attitude to control their life, to stay committed to their aims, to perceive changes in life as a challenge, and to have confidence in their strengths. Research among the general population showed that MT had the potential to counterbalance SD. Here, we tested whether MT was related to SD and EC among a sample of PwMS. Methods: A total of 1079 PwMS (mean age: 34.6 years; 81.1% females; median EDSS: 2) completed a series of self-rating questionnaires on sociodemographic and illness-related information, SD, EC, and MT. Results: Higher scores for MT were associated with lower scores for SD (r = −0.61), and with higher scores for EC (r = 0.53), while higher SD scores were associated with lower EC (r = −0.42), The conditional effect model showed that higher MT scores were directly associated with higher EC scores, while the indirect association via depression was negligeable. Conclusions: Among a large sample of PwMS, scores for MT, SD, and EC were intertwined. Further, MT was directly associated with SC. Given that standardized CBT intervention programs for MT, EC, and SD are available for the general population, to increase the well-being of PwMS, such interventions might also be suitable. The beauty of the study is that the present study appears to be one of the first studies to link MT and EC in a neurological population.
