Abstract

People with Parkinson’s disease (PwP) have been suggested to be more vulnerable to negative psychological and psycho-social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic. Our aim was to assess the potential impact of the COVID-19 pandemic in PwP. A Danish/Swedish cohort of 67 PwP was analysed. Health-related quality of life (HRQL), depression, anxiety, apathy, sleep and motor symptom-scores were included in the analysis. Additionally, the Danish participants provided free-text descriptions of life during the pandemic. Overall, the participants reported significantly better HRQL during the COVID-19 period compared with before. Reduced social pressure may be part of the explanation. Despite worsened anxiety, night sleep improved.

COVID-19大流行期间的帕金森氏病生活：压力处于“关闭”状态

摘要

有人建议患有帕金森氏病（PwP）的人更容易受到COVID-19大流行的负面心理和心理社会影响。我们的目标是评估COVID-19大流行对PwP的潜在影响。分析了丹麦/瑞典的67 PwP队列。分析中包括与健康相关的生活质量（HRQL），抑郁，焦虑，冷漠，睡眠和运动症状评分。此外，丹麦参与者还提供了关于大流行期间生活的自由文字描述。总体而言，参与者报告在COVID-19期间的HRQL较之前显着提高。减轻社会压力可能是解释的一部分。尽管焦虑加剧，但夜间睡眠有所改善。
