“…Moreover, significant cross-lagged effects between the measures suggest that perceived health, mental health, and subjective well-being of the patients with PD have potential to influence each other over time. Health care professionals, when supporting patients with PD, should consider the various life aspects of older patients with PD that can facilitate or impede positive psychological adaptation and behavioral adjustment to cope with PD [ 46 ]. In other words, to improve the sense of well-being and quality of life for a patient with PD, a multilayer intervention should be coupled with the appropriate medical and pharmacological treatments.…”

“…Interestingly, depression at the follow-up point was significantly associated with several baseline measures, including IADLs, the presence of chronic diseases, loneliness, and quality of life. This might indicate the pivotal role that early behavioral and psychological interventions play in mitigating the negative psychological effect of PD by developing more positive resources, resilience, and coping strategies that diminish emotional distress [ 46 , 47 , 48 ].…”

A growing aging population leads to a gradual increase in the number of patients with Parkinson’s disease (PD). This study examines how perceived health, psychological distress, and subjective well-being evolve in older adults with PD. A cross-lagged study design was employed using data from Waves 4 and 6 of the Survey of Health, Aging and Retirement in Europe (SHARE). In total, 421 older adults diagnosed with PD at baseline (46% women; mean age 74.98 ± 9.05 years) were included in the study and were followed up after a four-year lag. Auto-regressive and cross-lagged associations between the measured variables were examined in reciprocal models. Individual differences in perceived health, psychological distress, and subjective well-being were relatively stable over the 4-year lag. A final reciprocal model with significant cross-lagged effects explained the underlying structure of the sample data well: χ2 (49) = 101.876, p < 0.001, CFI = 0.953, NFI = 0.935, RMSEA = 0.050, and AIC = 241.876. Increased difficulties in fulfilling instrumental activities and a lowered level of subjective well-being were particularly noticeable in older adults with PD during the four-year follow-up. Additional attention should be paid to helping older patients with PD cope better with their functional limitations and improve their sense of well-being.

“…This reciprocity and causality between a wide range of health and well-being indices suggested that they have the potential to in uence each other over time. Health care professionals, in supporting patients with PD, should consider various life aspects of older patients with PD that facilitate positive psychosocial and behavioral adjustment or adaptation to chronic illness, for example, an optimistic mindset and social support (Stutts et al, 2020). In other words, to improve a sense of well-being and quality of life among patients with PD, a multilayer intervention should be coupled with the medical and pharmacological treatments.…”

“…Interestingly, depression at the follow-up point was signi cantly associated with several baseline measures including IADLs, presence of chronic diseases, loneliness, and quality of life. This might indicate the pivotal role of early behavioral and psychological interventions in maintaining psychological health by developing more positive resources, resilience, and coping strategies that diminish emotional distress (Gison et al, 2014;Stutts et al, 2020;Lundervold et al, 2013).…”

“…Additionally, a cross-lagged effect of loneliness on depression and quality of life was consistent with other studies where loneliness was the signi cant determinant of depressive symptoms and declined quality of life among patients with PD (e.g., Vann-Ward et al, 2017). Increased social stress, anxiety, and imposed or voluntary social isolation and withdrawal were observed in patients with PD (e.g., Stutts et al, 2020;Vann-Ward et al, 2017). Additionally, older patients with PD, who had limited social networks and social support (e.g., widowed or childless), may have experienced severe loneliness and isolation owing to motor malfunctioning.…”

Background: Older adults with mild cognitive impairment (MCI) and depression have a higher dementia conversion rate, which requires timely intervention.Objectives: A non-randomized controlled trial was conducted to explore the effect of a nurse-led positive psychological intervention (PPI) in relieving depression and promoting cognition in this population.Methods: A total of 70 older adults were enrolled, with 35 each in the intervention and control groups. The control group received one-to-one health education, and the intervention group received a 40-to 60-minute PPI for eight successive weeks.Results: During the intervention, most participants reached the standard of active participation, and 2.86% continued to complete homework every day during followup. The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) score in the intervention group was significantly lower than that in the control group at the end of intervention (t = −3.64, p < 0.05) and at 3-month follow-up (t = −4.48, p < 0.05). Interaction effects of time and group on PHQ-9 scores (F = 8.11, p < 0.001), with significant differences between the groups in scores (F = 9.11, p < 0.05) and times (F = 23.58, p < 0.05) was observed.In the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) scale, the intervention group had significantly higher scores than controls at the end of intervention (t = 7.28, p < 0.05) and 3-month follow-up (t = 8.01, p < 0.05). Cognition in the two groups was significantly affected by intergroup effects (F = 42.80, p < 0.001), interaction effects (F = 30.38, p < 0.001), and time effects (F = 33.67, p < 0.05). Conclusions:Although the effects tended to decrease in follow-up, the nurse-led PPI was feasible and valid in relieving depression and promoting cognition among older participants with MCI and depression. The present findings warrant further exploration.
