“…The current study used only the somatization subscale. This subscale assesses the tendency to experience somatic symptoms in response to psychological distress (Carrozzino et al, 2017;Carrozzino et al, 2018;Carrozzino et al, 2016). In this study, Cronbach's α of somatization subscale was 0.91.…”

Objective: Body perception, including body awareness and reactivity, is featured in a range of mental health conditions. However, research on Chinese questionnaires assessing body perception has been surprisingly absent. The present study aimed to investigate the factor structure and psychometric properties of the Body Perception Questionnaire-Short Form (BPQ-SF) among Chinese. Methods: the current sample included 688 Chinese college students. Self-report scales were used to measure body perception, somatization, and depressive somatic and psychological symptoms. Results: Confirmatory factor analysis supported a three-factor model of the BPQ-SF, involving body awareness, supradiaphragmatic reactivity, and subdiaphragmatic reactivity. Good internal consistency and test-retest reliability were observed. Convergent validity was established by significant correlations with scores of somatization and somatic symptoms of depression. Divergent validity was evidenced by non-significant association with ratings on psychological symptoms of depression. The very short form of the body awareness subscale of BPQ can be an alternative to the body awareness subscale when scale length is the priority. Conclusion: The BPQ-SF possessed three latent factors and demonstrated good psychometric properties that can measure body perception among Chinese in a reliable and valid way.

“…Once neurologic follow-up is lost, these women may be at increased risk of hospitalizations, nursing facility placement, and poorer quality of life 11,23. A growing body of literature reports that women with PD are more likely to be institutionalized compared to men, possibly due to disparities in caregiver presence and type, or greater psychological distress, and institutionalization is associated with increased mortality 22,24–28. This further highlights the importance of caregivers in preventing premature institutionalization and excess mortality in women with PD.…”

Background Women with Parkinson’s disease (PD) are more likely to be older, have greater disease severity and comorbidities, and yet are less likely to receive care from a neurologist, as compared with men with PD. Within the PD population, homebound individuals are a particularly vulnerable group facing significant barriers to care, yet within this understudied population, sex-related differences have not been reported. Purpose To identify and describe differences in homebound men and women with advanced PD and related disorders, participating in an interdisciplinary home visit program. Patients and methods This was an exploratory analysis of homebound patients seen between February 2014 and July 2016 using data collected via in-person interviews and chart review. Results We enrolled 85 patients, of whom 52% were women. PD was the most common diagnosis (79%), followed by dementia with Lewy bodies (5%), and other atypical parkinsonism (16%). Men were more likely to have a PD dementia diagnosis than women (17.1% vs 2.3%, p =0.03). Women were more likely to live alone (18.1% of women had no caregiver vs 2.4% of men, p =0.05). Conclusion The role of the caregiver in facilitating safe aging-in-place is crucial. Among homebound individuals with advanced PD, women were far more likely to live alone. The absence of a spouse or care partner may be due in part to variable sex-based life expectancies. Our findings suggest that homebound women with advanced PD may face greater barriers to accessing support.

“…Indeed, he developed a number of rating scales that have been extensively used in clinical trials and practice by clinicians and researchers worldwide such as the Bech-Rafaelsen Melancholia Scale (MES) [2-4], the Bech-Rafaelsen Mania Scale (MAS) [5, 6], the WHO-5 well-being index [7, 8], and the Major Depression Inventory (MDI) [9, 10]. He also modified existing scales such as the Hamilton Depression Scale (HAM-D) [11-13]; the Hamilton Anxiety Scale (HAM-A) [14] evaluating the central symptoms of anxiety; the Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale [15]; and the Hopkins Symptom Checklist (SCL), the SCL-28 [16-19]. …”
