“…Type‐D personality was the second most influential factor, explaining about 9.4% of the variance in QoL in the present study. This is consistent with previous findings (Kim et al, 2017a; Mols et al, 2012). The relationships between personality traits, prognosis, and health status have been already studied (Bunevicius, 2018).…”

“…This is higher than the prevalence identified in patients with gastric cancer (23%; Zhang et al, 2016) and colorectal cancer (21.0%; Husson et al, 2017), or in survivors of various types of cancer including endometrial cancer, colorectal cancer, lymphoma and multiple myeloma (19%; Mols et al, 2012). Compared to other patients with chronic disease in the Korean population, the prevalence of type‐D personality in patients with brain tumours was lower than in patients with recurrent coronary artery disease (46.7%; Jo et al, 2019) and patients receiving chemotherapy for ovarian cancer (56.0%; Kim et al, 2018), but higher than in patients with Parkinson's disease (19.9%; Kim et al, 2017a) and end‐stage renal disease (26.0%; Son et al, 2012). Type‐D personality should be assessed in patients with brain tumours because its incidence rate is relatively higher in this group than in patients with other types of cancer.…”

Objective To investigate the influence of type‐D personality on quality of life (QoL) in patients with primary brain tumours. Methods We performed descriptive cross‐sectional study between July 2018 and March 2019. A convenience sample of 293 patients was recruited from an outpatient neurosurgery clinic. Results Type‐D personality was identified in 34.1% of subjects. Type‐D patients had poorer QoL and experienced more severe symptoms and interference with life. Poor QoL was associated with lower education, no spouse and lower family income. Symptoms were the most significant factor affecting QoL, followed by type‐D personality, income and education. Conclusion Symptoms, type‐D personality and demographic factors should be considered when assessing QoL in patients with primary brain tumours. Interventions that reflect these characteristics, including type‐D personality, may help improve QoL for patients with primary brain tumours.

“…Quality of life is one of the most important concepts and indicators for studying management of chronic disease such as PD [10]. Most studies evaluated HRQL for people with PD through the 39-item Parkinson's disease Quality of life Questionnaire (PDQ-39) [11][12][13]. PDQ-39 includes 39 items in a single questionnaire, which can be time consuming for respondents to complete.…”

Background This study aims to explore the association between the total number of non-motor symptoms and the Parkinson’s disease (PD) patients’ health-related quality of life quantitatively, using data from one of the largest smartphone-powered studies and a simplified version of 8-item Parkinson’s disease Quality of life Questionnaire (PDQ-8). Methods The data used for analysis constitutes one part of a dataset derived from the project named ‘100 for Parkinson’s’. 1246 patients were included in the baseline survey. The 30-item Non-Motor Symptom (NMS-30) Questionnaire and PDQ-8 Summary Index (PDQ-8 SI) were used to measure health-related quality of life and a generalized linear model was used to analyze the association of the non-motor symptoms and quality of life. Results The mean number of NMS per patient was 11.81 ± 5.53. For patients with limited ability to work: the key symptoms were urgency (77.4%), sad or blue (71.05%) and difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep (70.90%). After controlling for the life-style determinants and psychological symptoms prior PD diagnosis determinants, GLM presented the total sum of NMS-30 questions had the strongest positive influence on health-related quality of life as measured by the PDQ-8 SI. Where the sum of NMS scores increases by 1 point, the PDQ-8 SI will increase by 1.33 points (95%CI: 1.13, 1.52; P < 0.001). For patients without limited ability to work: urgency (62.45%), difficulty getting to sleep or staying asleep (59.81%) and getting up regularly at night to pass urine (55.09%) were the most frequent symptoms. GLM showed that where the total sum of NMS scores increases by 1 point, the PDQ-8 SI will increase by 1.56 points (95%CI: 1.37, 1.76; P < 0.001) after controlling for other confounders. Conclusions This smartphone-based study finds a higher total number of non-motor symptoms is related to a lower health-related quality of life for PD patients. It provides useful evidence for the PDQ-8 instrument and is helpful for a multidisciplinary approach to patient care and facilitate the provision of more comprehensive education for patients and caregivers.

“…In the last decades, there has been increasing recognition of the importance to address quality of life (QoL) of PD patients, aside to managing the motor manifestations of the disorder. QoL in PD is influenced by psychological symptoms, which are partially related to dispositional attitudes or personality traits (Soh et al, 2011; van Uem et al, 2016; Kim et al, 2017; Pontone et al, 2017). Therefore, in addition to provide useful insights into the underlying neurochemical and biological changes along PD progression, the study of personality could help health professionals to improve the assessment process and address treatment strategies improving functional and emotional well-being in PD.…”

ObjectiveA complex relationship between neuropsychiatric symptoms, personality traits and neurochemical changes in patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD) has been highlighted in the past several decades. In particular, a specific Parkinson personality with obsessive traits has been described. However, despite the great amount of anecdotal evidence, this aspect, together with its neurobiological, psychological and clinical correlates, are still not clearly defined. Therefore, we performed a case-control study in order to investigate the presence and rate of obsessive personality traits in PD patients within the theoretical framework of cognitive-constructivist model. Moreover, the relationship between PD personality and clinical, psychological and quality of life (QoL) aspects in PD were investigated.MethodsFifty-one non-demented patients with probable or possible PD (not demented) were recruited at the inpatient-outpatient San Luca Hospital, IRCCS Istituto Auxologico Italiano. Control group was composed by forty-eight age- and education-matched healthy volunteers. Patients underwent a neurological investigation including Unified PD Rating Scale (UPDRS), Modified Hoehn and Yahr and Schwab and England staging scales. The following psychological questionnaires were administered to the overall sample: Personal Meaning Questionnaire (PMQ), State-Trait Anxiety Inventory-Form Y (STAI-Y), Beck Depression Inventory (BDI), Symptom Check List-90 (SCL-90), Short-Form Health Survey-36 (SF-36).ResultsNo significant differences in personality styles were observed in PD patients and controls, with a prevalence of phobic personal meaning organization (PMO) in both groups. However, PD patients showed more anxiety, depression and obsessive-compulsive (OC) symptoms than controls at the psychological questionnaires, as well as poorer QoL levels. The intensity of personality traits, and in particular for the obsessive personality style, were negatively associated with QoL and positively with disease severity. No significant relationships were observed between personality and other clinical aspects, such as side of onset and disease duration.ConclusionParkinson’s disease patients did not show a different personality profile according to the cognitive-constructivist model with respect to controls. However, in this population, a general enhancement in the tendency to codify experience by means of specific cognitive and emotional patterns was associated to disease progression and to a poorer QoL.
