INTRODUCTION: Little is known regarding the educational needs and perspectives of people living with Parkinson's disease (PD), particularly in Asia.
OBJECTIVE: To assess knowledge and perceptions regarding PD in a large multiethnic urban Asian cohort of patients and caregivers.
METHODS: We conducted a survey at a university hospital neurology clinic, using a novel Knowledge and Perception of Parkinson's Disease Questionnaire (KPPDQ).
RESULTS: The KPPDQ had satisfactory psychometric properties among patients and caregivers. Five hundred subjects were recruited with a 97% response rate (211 patients, 273 caregivers). Non-motor symptoms such as urinary problems, visual hallucinations and pain were relatively poorly recognized. Many (≈ 50-80%) respondents incorrectly believed that all PD patients experience tremor, that PD is usually familial, and that there is a cure for PD. About one-half perceived PD to be caused by something the patient had done in the past, and that PD medications were likely to cause internal organ damage. Issues of stigma/shame were relevant to one-third of patients, and 70% of patients perceived themselves to be a burden to others. Two-thirds of participants felt that PD imposed a heavy financial toll. Participants were about equally divided as to whether they would consider treatment with deep brain stimulation, tube feeding or invasive ventilation. Over three-quarters of patients expressed a preference to die at home.
CONCLUSIONS: Important knowledge gaps, misperceptions and perspectives on PD were identified, highlighting the need for further efforts to raise awareness and provide accurate information regarding PD, and to address patient's and caregivers' needs and preferences.
