Aims:
To analyse the current status of psychological resilience in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients and its correlation with social support and coping style.
Design:
A cross-sectional study.
Methods:
PD patients hospitalized in a tertiary-level hospital in Shijiazhuang, Hebei Province, from March 2022 to March 2023 were selected for the study using the convenience sampling method. A general information questionnaire, psychological resilience scale, Medical Coping Modes Questionnaire and Perceived Social Support Scale were used to investigate 111 cases of PD. SPSS 25.0 software was used for statistical analysis. The data were analysed using independent samples t-test, one-way ANOVA, multiple linear regression analysis and the Pearson correlation coefficient.
Results:
Parkinson's disease patients have a moderate level of psychological resilience. The results of the Pearson correlation analyses showed that the level of psychological resilience was positively correlated with social support and confrontation and was negatively correlated with avoidance and acceptance-resignation. The results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that social support and acceptance-resignation were the influencing factors of psychological resilience in PD patients.
Conclusion:
The psychological resilience of PD patients is at a moderate level. Social support and acceptance-resignation are the factors influencing the psychological resilience of PD patients.
Impact Statement:
This study analysed the level of psychological resilience in PD patients and its correlation with social support and coping style from the perspective of positive psychology to provide some reference for targeted clinical interventions. Our study found that social support and acceptance-resignation are influential factors in psychological resilience in PD patients. Medical staff should encourage patients to face the disease positively and their social support should be increased in order to improve their level of psychological resilience.
