Quality of Life in People with Parkinson’s disease: Q-Methodology and Parkinson’s Disease Questionaire-39 Researchers: Barnett, D.; Klebba, J.; Stoneking, R. Committee: McNulty, T.; Price, P.; Palombi, A. Objective The purpose of this research study is to describe quality of life, for persons with Parkinson’s disease (PD), through the administration of the q-sort by Palombi et al. (2010) and comparison of it with the PDQ-39. Methods Twenty-six persons with Idiopathic PD participated in this study. The q-sort, developed by Palombi, Corr, and Bartolomucci (2010), was administered to each participant, who completed it based on his or her perceptions of quality of life. The researchers then posed three interview questions to the participants in regard to the q-sort. The PDQ-39 was then administered to the participants as an aid in describing each factor. Results The statistical analysis resulted in three factors: Factor 1) Accept, cope, and contribute; Factor 2) Enriched sense of self and relationships; and Factor 3) Maintaining control and keeping dignity. Factor 1 showed that quality of life is being able to accept and cope to one’s situation while actively contributing to society. Being able to contribute to society may be a coping strategy for individuals in this factor, as they focus on what they can do instead of what they are unable to do. Factor 2 reflects how spirituality may dictate how one views themselves and their role as a member of their family. Although family and friends are important, individuals in factor 2 value independence and the ability to provide for others that are close rather than to be a burden. Factor 3 reflected the importance of being in control of one’s life by maintaining physical, emotional and intellectual functioning. This factor also shows the importance of preserving personal dignity through control of their own body, despite the presence of PD. These factors were further explored using demographics and results from the PDQ-39 to describe each factor and it’s relation to overall quality of life. Conclusion Although complex, it is imperative for practitioners to understand how one defines quality of life when working with clients with PD. Having a holistic understanding of quality of life helps practitioners to be more client-centered, as they focus treatment on skills that will lead to an increased quality of life for the individual.
