Abstract
BACKGROUND
Patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) often experience depression, and some may require magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) for diagnosis, which can lead to MRI failure due to claustrophobia.
AIM
To explore the value of psychological interventions in successfully completing functional MRI scans of the brain for PD-related depression.
METHODS
Ninety-six patients with PD were randomly divided into two groups. The control group (47 patients) received general care, and the experimental group (49 patients) received general care combined with psychological care. The Unified Parkinson's Disease Assessment Scale (UPDRS), Hamilton Depression Scale (HAMD), and Geriatric Depression Scale (GDS)-15 scores, heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and MRI-Anxiety Questionnaire (MRI-AQ) scores before and after the scan were recorded. The completion rate of magnetic resonance (MR) scanning, scanning duration, and image quality scores were recorded.
RESULTS
Before scanning, no statistically significant difference was observed between the two groups in terms of heart rate, systolic blood pressure, and UPDRS, HAMD, GDS-15, and MRI-AQ scores. After scanning, systolic blood pressure, MRI-AQ score, and scan time in the experimental group were significantly lower than those in the control group, whereas the scan completion rate and image quality score were significantly higher than those in the control group.
CONCLUSION
Psychological nursing interventions are helpful in alleviating PD-related depression and assessing MR depression scores and may be helpful in the successful completion of functional MRI scans of the patient's brain.
