Abstract
AIMS AND OBJECTIVE: To identify and describe experiences valuable for managing daily life after participation in the NPS self-management intervention. The second part was to explore the applicability of the Self- and family management framework by Grey and colleagues for persons with Parkinson's Disease and their relatives. BACKGROUND: The impact of PD is evident on the lives of both patients and relatives. The National Parkinson School (NPS) is a Swedish self-management programme designed for patients and relatives, aiming at teaching strategies helpful for the ability of self-management, in order to promote life satisfaction. DESIGN: Qualitative explorative with inductive and deductive analysis. METHODS: Five group discussions with NPS participants were audio-recorded. Verbatim transcriptions were analysed inductively with thematic analysis according to Braun and Clarke, and the findings were then applied deductively to the existing model for patients with chronic disease. RESULTS: Through the first step of inductive analysis, three themes capturing the meaning, value and experience of being a participant at the NPS were identified: exchanging experiences and feeling support, adjustment and acceptance of PD for managing daily life and promoting life satisfaction. The deductive analysis applied the inductive findings to the Self- and family management framework of chronically ill to explore the fit to persons with PD and relatives attending the NPS programme. CONCLUSIONS: The NPS programme is a promising approach for helping persons with PD and their relatives to achieve better self-management of disease and improved life satisfaction. Further evaluations of programme outcomes in clinical practice are warranted. RELEVANCE OF CLINICAL PRACTICE: Self-management programmes like the NPS is a promising approach in facilitating a positive mindset and outlook on life and gain knowledge to understand, adapt and handle chronic disease, such as PD, better.
