Purpose: The aim of this study was to investigate the level of resilience and related factors in patients with Parkinson’s disease(PD) in Korea.
Methods: Data were obtained from 148 patients using the Resilience Scale (RS), Beck’s Depression Inventory(BDI), and Spielberger’s Anxiety Inventory(AI).
Results: The mean scores of the RS, BDI, and AI were 127.7±21.6, 12.9±9.3, and 41.9±11.1, respectively. The RS score was strongly correlated with the BDI score(r=-.531, p<.001) and the AI(r=-.572, p<.001). The resilience was significantly revealed by household income(F=4.002, p=.009) and presence of a hobby(t=-3.300, p=.001). In addition, resilience was significantly correlated with age of disease onset(r=.164, p=.046), years of living with PD(r=-.262, p=.001), and the length of treatment with levodopa(r=-.283, p<.001). From the stepwise multiple regression analysis, the most important factors related to the RS score were the AI score, household income, and length of treatment with levodopa.
Conclusion: Understanding these factors is essential for developing effective interventions to improve resilience in patients with PD.
