Directions of Longitudinal Relationships between Housing-related Control Beliefs and Activities of Daily Living among People with Parkinson's disease.

Introduction: The gerontological literature suggests that external housing-related control beliefs (HCB) influence activities of daily living (ADL) among older people, but knowledge is scarce for people with Parkinson's disease (PD). This longitudinal study aimed to explore the directions of the relationship between external HCB and ADL among people with PD.

Methods: Baseline (T1) and 3-year follow-up data (T2) were collected from 154 people with PD (mean age = 68 years, T1).

People with Parkinson's disease and housing issues: A scoping review.

Background And Aims: There is evidence that housing issues are associated with health outcomes as people age, but little is known in this respect regarding the specific population of people with Parkinson's disease (PD). The objective of this literature review was to identify and analyze the knowledge gap concerning people with PD and housing issues.

Methods: Applying established guidelines for scoping reviews, a systematic literature search was done in relevant databases applying the following inclusion criteria: empirical studies including human participants with PD, addressing housing in the objective, hypothesis or research questions, and published in English in peer-reviewed journals.

Environmental barriers and housing accessibility problems for people with Parkinson's disease: A three-year perspective.

Background: Although housing accessibility is associated with important health outcomes in other populations, few studies have addressed this in a Parkinson's disease population.

Aim: To determine the most severe environmental barriers in terms of housing accessibility problems and how these evolved over 3 years among people with Parkinson's disease.

Material And Methods: 138 participants were included (men = 67%; mean age = 68 years).

The meaning of home questionnaire revisited: Psychometric analyses among people with Parkinson's disease reveals new dimensions.

Background: Research addressing perceptions of housing in people with Parkinson's disease (PD) is rare, and existing instruments capturing perceived aspects of housing are rarely used. Perceived housing comprises of several domains and is associated with health in general older populations. One such domain is meaning of home, captured by the Meaning of Home Questionnaire (MOH).

Psychometric properties of the external Housing-Related Control Belief Questionnaire among people with Parkinson's disease.

Background: Housing-related control beliefs are associated with aspects of health among older people in general. Research on Parkinson's disease (PD) focusing on perceptions of the home are rare and instruments capturing perceived aspects of home have seldom been used.

Aims: To evaluate psychometric properties of the external Housing-related Control Beliefs Questionnaire (HCQ) among people with PD.

Test-Retest Reliability of the Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNL-I) to Assess Perceived Participation in Adults With Late Effects of Polio.

Background: Many individuals with late effects of polio have difficulties participating in daily activities. The Reintegration to Normal Living Index (RNL-I) is a self-report questionnaire that evaluates perceived participation, but knowledge of the test-retest reliability and measurement errors in this population is lacking.

Objective: To evaluate the test-retest reliability of the RNL-I in adults with late effects of polio.
