A systematic overview of the attributes of the multiple sclerosis nurse role is provided which should help service providers, nurses and other professionals consider how multiple sclerosis nurse specialists roles can contribute to the care of people with this condition. While there is little current evidence of effectiveness for the multiple sclerosis nurse specialist role, there is evidence for its appropriateness, although more rigorous primary research is required to test this.

“…23 A number of studies recommend that health professionals should develop specialist skills to respond to the long term interdisciplinary care needs for this population. 24,27,28 Although some initial work has been undertaken to identify caregiver distress in the PD population, little systematic work has been undertaken to examine the care needs of patients with PD and their family caregivers. The question 'who should look after people with PD?'…”

Would people with Parkinson's disease benefit from palliative care?

Parkinson's disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, degenerative disorder of the nervous system, causing substantial morbidity and has the capacity to shorten life. People with PD and their families can find the disease devastating. Nevertheless, this population of patients is not usually considered a group to be supported by palliative care specialists. But the nature of the illness and the challenges of managing its many physical and psychological effects raises questions about the potential benefits of a palliative care approach. The purpose of this project was to describe the experience of PD and consider the relevance of palliative care for this population. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight people with PD, 21 family caregivers and six health professionals. Five themes were developed from the data analysis: (1) emotional impact of diagnosis; (2) staying connected; (3) enduring financial hardship; (4) managing physical challenges; and (5) finding help for advanced stages. These data revealed that people with PD and family caregivers are confronted with similar issues to people with typical palliative care diagnoses, such as advanced cancer, and that a palliative approach may be helpful in the care of people with PD and their families.

“…Using the Nottingham Health Profile (a measure of health-related quality of life), Sitzia et al found improvements in 'pain', 'emotional reactions' and 'physical mobility' and in overall quality of life. 16 A programme consisting of a combination of physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy for a total of three hours per day for five to seven days per week led to significant improvements in timed up and go, two-minute walk test and finger tapping. 17 Randomised controlled trials (RCTs) have showed mixed results.…”

Evaluation of a nurse-led multidisciplinary neurological rehabilitation programme using the Nottingham Health Profile

Abstract: These results suggest that the multidisciplinary inpatient approach in neurological rehabilitation has identifiable short-term benefits for the majority of patients. A randomized trial with longer follow-up is required to confirm this.
