Abstract
OBJECTIVE: To analyze the effects of behavioral and psychological interventions on the neurological function in Parkinson's disease (PD) patients. METHODS: A total of 103 patients with PD admitted to our hospital were randomly divided into the observation group (OG, n=52) or the control group (CNG, n=51). The CNG was treated with routine nursing, while the OG was treated with behavioral and psychological interventions. RESULTS: At 1, 2, and 3 months after the nursing, the National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale (NIHSS) scores, the unified PD disease rating scale III (UPDRS-III) scores, and the Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) scores in both groups were lower than they were before the nursing, the NIHSS, UPDRS-III, and PSQI scores in the OG were lower than they were in the CNG, the General Self-efficacy Scale (GSES) and Mini-Mental State Examination (MMSE) scores and the Barthel scores in both groups were higher than they were before the nursing, and the GSES, MMSE, and Barthel scores in the OG were higher than they were in the CNG (P < 0.05). CONCLUSION:Behavioral and psychological interventions can improve PD patients' impaired neurological function, self-efficacy, cognitive function, motor dysfunction, sleep quality, and quality of life.
