%X Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between fatigue and occupational competence and fatigue in Multiple Sclerosis (MS) patients. Material and Methods: The study was carried out in Trakya University Hospital between February and June 2018 with 26 MS patients. Expanded Disability Status Scale (EDSS), Fatigue Severity Scale (FSS) and Occupational Self Assessment (OSA) applied to participants. Results: Statistically significant relationship was found between FSS and EDSS scores and OSA competence scores (p <.05). No statistically significant relationship was found between FSS and EDSS scores with OSA value scores (p> .05). Discussion: In this study, it was found that perceived fatigue in MS individuals is correlated with occupational competence. For this reason, we think that it is important that health professions who are working in occupational therapy field should make necessary evaluations about fatigue levels of MS individuals and apply occupational therapy interventions
