Brief Summary:
Multiple system atrophy (MSA) is a rare neurodegenerative disorder that leads to major disability, forcing patients and caregivers to adapt their environment and lifestyle. Once they receive the diagnosis, patients and caregivers need to understand the symptoms, cope with them, to digest the diagnosis... All these needs are not completely addressed by the current model of care so we created a therapeutic educational program (TEP) program that will last 12 months, involving both patients and caregivers, including a mixed model of in-person visits and continuous on-line activities. Our project aims to target early MSA patients and their caregivers, proposing to test the feasibility (primary objective) of an innovative therapeutic educational program (TEP) for MSA patients.
Detailed Description:
The announcement of MSA diagnosis may provoke a shock in patients and their relatives. Educational programs in neurodegenerative diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), offer patients and caregivers structured skills in disease knowledge, expertise, and management. Those programs may result in an improvement of patients' quality of life (QoL), empowering patients and their caregivers to deal with psychosocial challenges. Additionally, it has been shown that educational programs positively impact the perceived health of PD patients without increasing medical costs. There is no educational program for MSA patients. This is the reason why we created the first therapeutic educational program (TEP) for MSA patients and caregivers, including a mix model of in person visits and online classes and virtual activities. Herein, we aim to target early MSA patients (time to diagnosis \< 1 year) and their caregivers, proposing to test the feasibility of this TEP. The program will last 12 months, involving both patients and caregivers, including a mixed model of in-person visits (at baseline and 12 months) and continuous on-line activities (learning situations, questionnaires, quizzes, videos, and interactive exercises).
