Article Synopsis
- Parkinson's disease (PD) significantly impacts the health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) of patients and their caregivers, especially as the disease progresses.
- The study investigated how neuropsychiatric symptoms—specifically mood and apathy—affected HR-QoL in patients and increased caregiver burden.
- Results showed a strong link between these neuropsychiatric symptoms and lower HR-QoL, suggesting that addressing these issues could help improve the well-being of both patients and caregivers.
Parkinson's disease (PD) is a neurodegenerative disorder, which leads to reduced health-related quality of life (HR-QoL) and autonomy in advanced stages of the disease. Hence, people with PD (PwPD) are in need of help, which is often provided by informal caregivers, especially spouses. This might influence the relationship satisfaction in patients and their spousal caregivers.
