Brief Summary

Review the sponsor-provided synopsis that highlights what the study is about and why it is being conducted.

The study will examine the reciprocal relationships between the community, healthcare system, and personal determinants of self-management behaviors in persons with Parkinson's disease and their association with the performance of these behaviors in persons with Parkinson's Disease.

In the first part of the study, data will be extracted from electronic medical records of 2500. In the second part of the study, a sub-sample of 200 participants with Parkinson's disease will be asked to answer standardized questionnaires.

Detailed Description

Dive into the extended narrative that explains the scientific background, objectives, and procedures in greater depth.

Parkinson's disease is a chronic, protracted condition. Its diverse symptoms affect the daily functioning and quality of life of patients and their families. The progressive disability is accompanied by medical complications and hospitalizations, which increase the economic burden on patients and healthcare systems. Factors that can mitigate these adverse consequences include care from a neurologist, rehabilitative treatments, and patients' use of self-management strategies. However, studies suggest that Patients with Parkinson from minority groups are less likely to be treated by a neurologist. Also, it is unclear whether Patients with Parkinson from minority groups are offered self-management strategies.

The study objectives were: To (1) to identify the reciprocal relationships among extra- and intra-personal level determinants of Self-Management Behaviors and their association with performance of these behaviors in persons with Parkinson's Disease, (2) identify the relationships between self-management behaviors (medical and lifestyle), function, and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's Disease.

Phase A of the study is a retrospective study based on extraction and analysis of data from electronic medical records, and phase B of the study is a cross-sectional study based on face-to-face meetings with a subsample of the patients whose data are included in the retrospective study.

Study Groups

Review each arm or cohort in the study, along with the interventions and objectives associated with them.

Ethnic groups- Jews and Arabs

Data will be extracted from electronic medical records for all people with PD residing in a specific HMO district according to a record-based survey (e.g., individuals whose medical records include a diagnosis of PD). Currently, there are 2500 patients with PD in that district. In the second part of the study, a sub-sample of 100 Jewish and 100 Arab Patients with Parkinson's disease will be asked to answer standardized questionnaires.

No interventions assigned to this group
