Abstract
ObjectiveTo investigate the current status of hardiness and quality of life (QoL) among patients with Parkinson disease(PD) and analyze the correlation between hardiness and QoL.
MethodsBy convenience sampling, 243 patients with PD were recruited from a tertiary hospital in Dalian during February 2017 and May 2017.General Scale, Hardiness Scale for Chinese Adults and Parkinson disease Questionnaire-39 item Version (PDQ39) were employed to measure hardiness and QoL among patients with PD.
ResultsThe hardiness score was (1.96±0.66) and the PDQ39 score was (35.46±20.38). The hardiness score was negatively correlated with PDQ39 score (r=-0.434, P<0.01).
ConclusionPatients with PD have a low level of hardiness and QoL.The higher the level of hardiness, the better the QoL.
