“…We observed a gender-specific distribution of active and passive strategies, in concordance with previous studies. 26 33 While men used both active and passive forms of coping to the same extent, women predominantly used passive coping strategies. However, the effect strength was low, so we do not assume that gender is a highly relevant factor for coping in patients with PD.…”

ObjectiveTo describe overlapping coping strategies in people with Parkinson’s disease.DesignCross-sectional, cohort study.SettingMonocentric, inpatient and outpatient, university hospital.ParticipantsTwo-hundred participants enrolled, 162 patients with Parkinson’s disease (without dementia) analysed.Primary and secondary outcome measuresPrevalence of different coping styles according to the German Essen Coping Questionnaire. Association between coping, sociodemographic and clinical parameters (Movement Disorder Society (MDS)-sponsored revision of the Unified Parkinson’s Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS), non-motor symptoms questionnaire (NMS-Quest), Montreal cognitive assessment (MoCA), Beck depression inventory (BDI) and health-related quality of life (Short Form Health Survey 36 (SF-36))).ResultsIn comparison with patients who employed a passive coping style, patients using an active form of coping were characterised by a shorter disease duration (p=0.017), fewer motor impairments (MDS-UPDRS II p=0.040, MDS-UPDRS III p=0.003), a lower non-motor burden (NMS-Quest p=0.048), better cognitive function (MoCA p=0.036) and fewer depressive symptoms (BDI p<0.001). From the 162 participants, 24% showed an overlap of active and passive coping strategies. The most common combination was acting/problem-oriented coping and distance and self-promotion. In comparison with patients who employed passive coping, the group with an overlapping coping style was characterised by a shorter disease duration (p=0.023) and lower depressive burden (p=0.001). In comparison with patients who employed active coping, the overlap group was characterised by poorer cognitive function (p=0.045). The SF-36 values of the overlap group were between those of the active and passive coping groups.ConclusionKnowledge about overlapping coping strategies is relevant to the implementation of strategies to promote active and healthy coping.

“…Pessimism was positively related with depression and anxiety (Giardini et al, 2017;Kwok & Gu, 2017;Scott-Hamilton, & Schutte, 2016), stress (Jones, Lehman, Kirsch, & Hennessy, 2017), and psychological health during pandemic (Arslan, Yıldırım, Tanhan, Buluş, &Allen, 2020). Optimism was also associated with subjective well-being (Herero & Extremera, 2010), psychological well-being (Scheier, Carver, & Bridges, 2001), coping (Anzaldi, & Shifren, 2019), posttraumatic growth (Britton, LaLonde, Oshio, & Taku, 2019), negative emotions (Wrosch & Scheier, 2003), and functioning (Brenes, Rapp, Rejeski, & Miller, 2002). The optimism-pessimism have also manifested their effects on mental health in longitudinal studies.…”

In the world, the COVID-19 pandemic has led to public mental health stress, anxiety, panic, and behavioral disorders. The purpose of the present study was to examine whether meaning in life mediated the relationship between coronavirus stress and depressive symptoms and whether the mediating effect of meaning in life on depressive symptoms was moderated by optimism. The sample of the study included 475 undergraduate students attending a public university in an urban city of Turkey. They were 69.2% female, ranged in age between 18 and 34 years (M = 20.63, SD = 1.99). Results showed that meaning in life and optimism–pessimism mediated the relationship between coronavirus stress and depressive symptoms. Optimism also mediated the relationship between meaning in life and depressive symptoms. Furthermore, optimism moderated the mediating effect of meaning in life in the relationship between coronavirus stress and depressive symptoms. These results indicated that the relationship between coronavirus stress and depressive symptoms can be better understood by meaning in life and optimism. Optimism may play a protective factor to mitigate the impact of stress on depressive symptoms

“…Some authors report that women use more emotion-focused coping strategies while men prefer focusing on avoidant coping (60,61). However, a study targeting coping strategies among people with PD reported the opposite, with women reporting more problem-focused coping strategies compared to males (10). Interestingly, less polarized gender roles might associate with better quality of life in women.…”

“…As the disease progresses, sex, and gender differences can emerge in the incidence of clinical features, such as postural instability or depressive symptoms (8,9). In addition to these differences in clinical phenotype, coping styles may also vary between men and women with PD (10). Given this broad spectrum of potential differences, the consideration of sex-and gender-specific problems and needs of people with PD appears to be essential to provide personalized care.…”

The impact of sex and gender on disease incidence, progression, and provision of care has gained increasing attention in many areas of medicine. Biological factors-sex-and sociocultural and behavioral factors-gender-greatly impact on health and disease. While sex can modulate disease progression and response to therapy, gender can influence patient-provider communication, non-pharmacological disease management, and need for assistance. Sex and gender issues are especially relevant in chronic progressive diseases, such as Parkinson's disease (PD), because affected patients require multidisciplinary care for prolonged periods of time. In this perspective paper, we draw from evidence in the field of PD and various other areas of medicine to address how sex and gender could impact PD care provision. We highlight examples for which differences have been reported and formulate research topics and considerations on how to optimize the multidisciplinary care of persons with PD.
