研究人员对 40 名帕金森病 (PD) 患者进行了研究，以探讨心理功能（抑郁、运动、认知和心理领域问题）与身体疾病（疾病阶段和持续时间、功能障碍、整体认知状态）之间的关系。研究发现，与中度疾病患者相比，重度疾病患者的抑郁、运动、心理和认知问题明显更严重。功能障碍与评估心理功能的变量相关性更强。结论认为，PD患者的问题并不局限于运动领域，而是多维的，临床治疗中应考虑其他因素。这些发现对于针对帕金森病患者制定干预措施具有重要意义。 (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. 保留所有权利。
Forty patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) were studied to explore the relationship between aspects of psychological functioning (depression, problems in motoric, cognitive and psychological areas) and physical illness (stage and duration of illness, functional disability, global cognitive status). Depression, motoric, psychological and cognitive problems were found to be significantly greater in patients suffering from severe as compared to moderate disease. Functional disability correlated more strongly with variables assessing psychological functioning. It was concluded that problems of patients with PD were not restricted to the motoric domain but are multi-dimensional in nature, and other factors should be taken into account in the clinical management of the illness. These findings have implications for development of interventions for patients with PD. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science Ltd. All rights reserved.
