[PMID: 38924637 PMCID: PMC11199325 DOI: 10.1111/hex.14124] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/04/2023] [Revised: 04/19/2024] [Accepted: 06/11/2024] [Indexed: 06/28/2024] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Nonmotor symptoms (NMSs) are frequently experienced by people with Parkinson's disease (PD) and are often perceived as their most bothersome symptoms. However, these remain poorly understood with suboptimal clinical management. These unmet needs are an important determinant of health-related quality of life (QoL) in PD. OBJECTIVE The aim of this study was to gain insights into the experience of living with the NMS of PD in real-time using participatory action methodology. METHOD Using the photovoice method, 14 people with PD took photographs to document their experiences of living with the NMS of PD. They composed corresponding written narratives to capture the impact of NMS on their daily activities and QoL. In total, 152 photographs and corresponding narratives were analysed using thematic analysis with an inductive approach. RESULTS Four interrelated themes were identified. Emotional well-being and sense of self encompassed a process of adjustment to living with PD. Engaging in valued activities, adopting a positive mindset and utilising coping strategies were thought to enhance confidence and self-esteem. Social support and societal awareness highlighted the importance of supportive relationships and socialising to aid participation and avoid isolation. Barriers to social engagement included the unpredictability of NMS and nonvisible NMS being neglected or misunderstood. CONCLUSION Findings demonstrated the far-reaching impact of nonmotor aspects of PD on emotional, occupational and social dimensions. These needs could be addressed through person-centred and comprehensive approaches to care. PATIENT OR PUBLIC CONTRIBUTION This study utilised a participatory research approach allowing participants to choose the subjects that mattered to them and how to present their results. Additionally, a group workshop was held with people with PD, their family members and healthcare professionals to guide theme development.

Abstract
Introduction Insufficient knowledge and beliefs hinder the early diagnosis and provision of adequate treatment and care for PD patients, causing socio-economic burdens. Raising public awareness and understanding the knowledge gap is crucial for effective educational programs and early detection. This study aims to assess the perception of Parkinson's disease (PD) among visitors of a public campaign conducted to raise PD awareness and knowledge to facilitate early detection and management. Methods A before-and-after study was conducted from May to June 2023, to assess the perception of PD among a public PD campaign visitors in Al-Ahsa, Saudi Arabia. The campaign included educational booths discussing PD symptoms, causes, diagnosis, management, and support. Participants completed a self-administered online questionnaire before and after the campaign. The data were analyzed using SPSS. Results The study included 48 eligible individuals. The mean knowledge score was significantly enhanced following the campaign, rising from 12 to 17.77 points (p < 0.05). The symptoms of PD that showed a significant difference were slow movement, tremors, depression, memory problems, and sleep problems. The campaign had a beneficial effect on participants' general understanding of PD. Discussion The study showed that public awareness campaigns successfully raised community awareness of PD. Participants' knowledge improved after the campaign, highlighting its positive effect. Further research could explore measuring the continuity of awareness over a longer period and its impact on improving patients' lives and could expand the sample size.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The prevalence of dementia is escalating significantly, posing a substantial societal burden. Currently, there exists a dearth of comprehensive health data about dementia patients in Saudi Arabia, particularly within Al-Baha City. METHODS A retrospective case-series study was undertaken to ascertain the prevalence of dementia within the populace of the Al-Baha region, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. This investigation utilized hospital-based records encompassing individuals exhibiting symptoms or diagnosed with dementia and its related forms across the Al-Baha region. Furthermore, the study aimed to evaluate the burden of comorbidities among dementia patients and document the pharmacological therapeutic interventions administered to manage dementia and its associated concurrent health conditions. RESULTS Our investigation explored the prevalence rates of various forms of dementia and the accompanying comorbidities among affected individuals. The study spanned from August 2020 to August 2023. Our study encompassed 407 patients diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease (AD), Parkinson's disease, vascular dementia (VaD), or other forms of dementia who were either admitted to or attended tertiary hospitals in Al-Baha. Assessment of the comorbidity burden was conducted using the Charlson Comorbidity Index (CCI). Our findings revealed that among these patients, 13.3% presented with AD, 23.6% with VaD, 33.4% with Parkinson's disease, 15.75% with amnesia, and 14.0% with other types of dementia. The spectrum of comorbidities observed among dementia patients encompassed various conditions, with diabetes mellitus emerging as the predominant comorbidity (19.1%), followed by hypertension (16.4%). Additionally, manifestations of depression were noted in 14% of patients, while 9.82% suffered from paralysis. Chronic conditions such as cancer, chronic obstructive pulmonary disorder (COPD), and cervical spondylosis were also observed among individuals afflicted with dementia and its varied forms. Statistically significant correlations were established between gender, age, nationality, comorbidities, and the prevalence of dementia. Therapeutic interventions in the form of pharmacological treatments were prescribed for dementia patients with comorbidities. Commonly administered medications included Amlod (6.3%), Amlodipine (6.6%), Amlor (5.8%), Aspirin (10.5%), chemotherapeutic drugs (4.4%), Glipizide (8.5%), Lantus (11.3%), Levodopa (23.5%), Metformin (7.8%), acetylcholinesterase inhibitors (6.8%), and Pulmicort (7.86%). These medications aimed to alleviate symptoms associated with dementia and its accompanying comorbidities. CONCLUSIONS Our investigation underscores the substantial burden of comorbidities experienced by dementia patients. These findings offer crucial insights into the overall health status of individuals grappling with dementia, serving as a catalyst for increased awareness among clinicians and policymakers. Such awareness can drive improvements in medical care and support frameworks tailored to the specific needs of dementia patients.

Evaluation of a co-designed Parkinson's awareness audio podcast for undergraduate nursing students in Northern Ireland. BMC Nurs 2023; 22:370. [PMID: 37814245 PMCID: PMC10561504 DOI: 10.1186/s12912-023-01544-x] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 4.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 12/15/2022] [Accepted: 09/28/2023] [Indexed: 10/11/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a common neurological condition that often causes stiffness, tremor and slow movement. People living with PD are likely to encounter nursing students throughout their journey from pre-diagnosis to death. Despite this, there is a paucity of evidence about current practice in PD education amongst nursing students. The present study provides an evaluation of a co-designed Parkinson's Awareness audio podcast amongst nursing students in Northern Ireland. METHODS Following co-design of an audio podcast about PD, a mixed methods evaluation was carried out. 332 student nurses completed pre-/post-test questionnaires about their knowledge and perceptions of PD before and after listening to the audio podcast. Further to this, 35 student nurses participated in focus-group interviews six months following listening to explore how the podcast influenced practice. RESULTS Student nurses posted a mean score of 52% before listening to the audio podcast. This mean increased to 80% post-test. These findings were statistically significant (p < 0.001), demonstrating significant increases in PD awareness after listening. Findings from the focus groups suggested that the audio podcast improved empathy and practice towards people with PD. The findings also suggested that students perceived audio podcasts to be a good way to learn about PD. CONCLUSION Provision of a co-designed audio podcast about PD has the potential to improve student nurse knowledge and practice related to PD as evidenced in this study.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The lack of awareness and information about PD may be a barrier to early diagnosis and the delivery of the best care to patients with the condition, given its rising prevalence. In order to determine the variables that are connected to these parameters, this study sought to ascertain the general public's knowledge and awareness of PD in Tabuk City. METHODS In Tabuk City, a cross-sectional demographic survey was carried out. A validated structured questionnaire was used to interview adult respondents by random sampling regarding specific knowledge, attitudes, and awareness related to Parkinson's disease. According to the density of the city, a total of 426 members of the general population were chosen at random and interviewed by skilled interviewers. RESULTS Age and educational attainment were independently linked to PD awareness. Bachelor's degree subjects and those between the ages of 18 and 45 displayed a greater awareness of PD. Those above 60 and those between the ages of 46 and 60 lacked sufficient knowledge. The majority of participants demonstrated adequate understanding and awareness of PD in their respective occupations. CONCLUSIONS Age, gender, occupation, and level of education were all adequately covered by knowledge and understanding of PD. To increase public knowledge, attitudes, and awareness of PD, however, suitable educational tactics and approaches targeting particular subgroups are required.

Level of knowledge and quality of life among Saudi caregivers of Parkinson's disease patients: A study from a tertiary hospital in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Saudi Pharm J 2023; 31:101765. [PMID: 37791035 PMCID: PMC10542630 DOI: 10.1016/j.jsps.2023.101765] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/10/2023] [Accepted: 08/27/2023] [Indexed: 10/05/2023] Open
Abstract
Purpose We aimed to assess the family caregivers' level of knowledge and attitudes about Parkison's disease (PD), identify factors affecting their knowledge, evaluate their quality of life (QoL) and factors influencing it and to define the effect of PD on activities of daily living (ADLs) of PD patients. Method We developed and validated a questionnaire to assess the level of knowledge and attitudes of family caregivers toward PD, effects of PD on caregivers' QoL as well as its effects on activities of daily living (ADLs) of patients from the caregivers' perspective. A scoring system was utilized and SPSS was used to evaluate the differences in responses between the groups; p < 0.05 indicated statistical significance. Results 69 caregivers and their corresponding patients were included in the study. Family caregivers had a low level of knowledge, as reflected by a mean score of 3.45 out of 8. However, 62.3% were aware of all medications used by their patients. Additionally, the level of knowledge was associated with caregivers' gender as 57.1% of the female caregivers had medium PD knowledge scores while 58.5% of the male had low scores (p = 0.038). The level of knowledge was also associated with daily caregiving hours as only 44.5% of caregivers whom spending 0-5 h/day had medium and high knowledge scores while greater proportions with same scoring levels were found among those providing care > 5 h/day (75.0% in > 5-10 hrs; 52.4% in > 10-24 hrs; p = 0.024). Most caregivers confirmed their QoL had declined, yet the male caregivers had better QoL than females (p = 0.026). Longer caregiving time was associated with decline (p = 0.016) and severe effect on QoL of caregivers (p = 0.04). Conclusion Caregivers of PD patients had a low level of knowledge. Female caregivers had significantly higher level of PD knowledge than their male counterparts. Low level of PD knowledge was significantly associated with shorter caregiving time per day. Longer caregiving time was significantly associated with a decline in caregivers' QoL. Increasing awareness and knowledge among caregivers is necessary to ensure better treatment outcomes and improve the QoL of both caregivers and patients.

Abstract
Vitamin D is a fat-soluble vitamin that has multiple biological effects on the body. Recent findings have also linked vitamin D deficiency to a range of neuropsychiatric disorders. The aim of this review article is to provide insight into the metabolism of vitamin D and its effect on the body, especially on the brain, and to recognize the role of vitamin D in some neuropsychiatric disorders. Vitamin D is well-known as a neuroactive steroid that modulates brain functions and development. There is strong evidence to show that optimal vitamin D levels are important to protect against neuropsychiatric disorders. Vitamin D has also been proposed to alter neurotransmitter pathways in the central nervous system. Abnormalities in these neurotransmitters have been implicated in various neuropsychiatric diseases, such as schizophrenia, Parkinson's disease, and depression. Vitamin D also has some reported neurosteroid-like actions, including regulation of calcium homeostasis, clearance of amyloid-peptide, and antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects, as well as possible protection against the neurodegenerative mechanisms associated with Alzheimer's disease and autism. Vitamin D is an important modulator of brain development and has many functions in the brain. Several studies found that vitamin D has a protective role in neuropsychiatric disorders, and its supplementation decreases the development of these disorders and lowers their symptoms. Therefore, evidence shows that early intervention to maintain vitamin D concentrations at sufficiently high levels is crucial to slow, prevent, or improve neurocognitive decline.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Parkinson's disease (PD) is a common neurological disease affecting around 1% of people above sixty years old. It is characterised by both motor and non-motor symptoms including tremor, slow movement, unsteady gait, constipation and urinary incontinence. As the disease progresses, individuals living with the disease are likely to lose their independence and autonomy, subsequently affecting their quality of life. People with PD should be supported to live well within their communities but there has been limited research regarding what the public know about PD. This review aims to develop an understanding of how the public view people living with PD, which has the potential to aid the development of an educational resource for the future to improve public awareness and understanding of PD. The purpose of this scoping review is to review and synthesise the literature on the public perception and attitudes towards people living with PD and identify and describe key findings. AIM This scoping review aims to explore public perceptions and awareness of Parkinson's Disease among diverse populations, encompassing beliefs, knowledge, attitudes, and the broader societal context influencing these perceptions. METHODS A scoping review of the literature was conducted following the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-analysis extension for ScR (PRISMA-ScR). Four electronic databases were searched systematically (CINAHL Plus, Medline, PsycINFO and International Bibliography of the Social Sciences). The Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tools (JBI) were used to assess the quality of primary studies, however, all relevant studies were considered regardless of their methodological quality. The 'Population-Concept-Context' framework was used in the screening process to identify eligible papers. RESULTS A total of 23 studies were included in the review representing global research in quantitative (n = 12) and mixed methods approaches (n = 11). All 23 studies adopted some aspect of cross-sectional design. Three themes emerged from the studies, the first being public knowledge of symptoms, causes and treatment of PD and this highlighted a lack of understanding about the disease. Secondly, the review identified public attitudes towards PD, highlighting the social consequences of the disease, including the association between PD and depression, isolation and loss of independence. Finally, the third theme highlighted that there was a paucity of educational resources available to help increase public understanding of PD. CONCLUSION Findings from this scoping review have indicated that public awareness of PD is a growing area of interest. To our knowledge, this is the first scoping review on this topic and review findings have indicated that public knowledge and attitudes towards PD vary internationally. The implications of this are that people with PD are more likely to be a marginalised group within their communities. Future research should focus on understanding the perception of the public from the perspective of people with PD, the development of interventions and awareness campaigns to promote public knowledge and attitude and further high-quality research to gauge public perceptions of PD.
