Purpose: This study was done to investigate the influence of depression and pain on physical function in patients with Parkinson¡¯s disease.
Methods: A secondary data analysis was conducted of data from the study ¡®An analysis of an impact of evidence based nonpharmacological intervention for Parkinson¡¯s disease in the community from an explanatory prediction model¡¯. The participants included 118 patients with Parkinson¡¯s disease from a neurology outpatient department in a tertiary hospital in Seoul. Data on depression and pain were collected through self-reported questionnaires. Physical function was measured using Berg Balance Scale (BBS) and Timed up and go (TUG).
Results: Of the participants, 55 (46.6%) were in the group with suggestive depression. The mean score for pain was 3.59 (possible range 0 to 10), and 77 (66.1%) participants reported presence of pain. The findings showed that depression was a predictive factor influencing BBS and TUG. However, the results showed that pain did not influence BBS and TUG.
Conclusion: The results indicate a need to develop effective nursing interventions for patients with Parkinson¡¯s disease to enhance physical function by decreasing depression. Evidencebased nursing care including periodic depression and pain evaluation must be included in the care of these patients.
