PA Behavior and HRQoL in Parkinson's Disease Patients Patients: Role of Social Cognitive Variables

The primary aim of the study will be to examine Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) correlates, of physical activity (PA) participation and health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Parkinson's disease participants.

About this study

The body of evidence in the physical therapy and rehabilitation literature supports that physical activity is associated with improvements in quality of life for Parkinson's Disease (PD) patients. However, few studies have examined the underlying variables that may account for this relationship in PD patients. Researchers have examined stages of readiness to exercise in PD patients and barriers to exercise and found a strong association between self-efficacy and exercise in PD patients, rather than disability .

Researchers suggest that social cognitive theory (SCT) constructs are important correlates of physical activity for PD patients and should be targeted in interventions. A more comprehensive study of SCT correlates - Self-Efficacy (SE), Outcome Expectations (OE), and Self-Regulation (SR) should provide a better understanding of the factors that contribute to physical activity participation and the physical activity / health-related quality of life relationship in PD patients.

Treatment and study plan

Primary outcomes

  1. Health-Related Quality of Life (HRQoL) correlation to self-reported physical activity (PA)

    Time frame: participant's respond to survey questions only 1 time

    multiple linear regression analysis will be used to determine if higher HRQoL is significantly related to self-reported physical activity in PD patients.

Secondary outcomes

  1. Self-efficacy (SE), Outcomes Expectations (OE), and Self-Regulation (SR) correlation to self-reported HRQoL

    Time frame: Outcomes as measured at a single baseline assessment

    multiple linear regression analysis will be used to determine if higher levels of SE, OE, and SR are significantly related to self-reported HRQoL.

Other outcomes

  1. Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) constructs as mediators between self-reported PA and HRQoL

    Time frame: Outcomes as measured at a single baseline assessment

    hierarchical linear regression model will be used to examine the SCT constructs as potential mediators between self-reported PA and HRQoL in PD patients. Also, any variables determined to have significant impact in the multiple regression models will be controlled for in the HLM, allowing us to investigate the effects of certain variables while controlling for the effects of others.

  2. SCT constructs correlation to self-reported PA

    Time frame: Outcomes as measured at a single baseline assessment

    multiple linear regression analysis will then be used to examine the relationship between the social cognitive theory constructs and self-reported physical activity in PD patients.
