Abstract

Purpose: Patient activation encompasses the knowledge, skills, confidence, and willingness to manage health, particularly critical for people with Parkinson's disease (PD) in effective disease management. The current study investigated the relationship between patient activation and health behaviors.

Method: Participants (N = 57) were recruited via social media. Patient activation was measured using the Patient Activation Measure^® (PAM^®), and health behaviors were assessed through the Health-Promoting Lifestyle Profile II (HPLP-II). Partial correlation analyzed associations, and analysis of variance (ANOVA) tested differences across groups.

Results: Patient activation was significantly correlated with overall health behaviors (r = 0.64, p < 0.001) and all subscales, including health responsibility, physical activity, nutrition, spiritual growth, interpersonal relations, and stress management (range = 0.39 to 0.64). A one-way ANOVA confirmed significant differences in health behaviors across activation levels.

Conclusion: Higher patient activation is associated with better health-promoting behaviors in people with PD. Assessing activation may help tailor interventions to support healthy aging in this population.

帕金森病患者激活与健康行为的关系

目的：患者激活包括管理健康的知识、技能、信心和意愿，对帕金森病（PD）患者的有效疾病管理尤其重要。本研究探讨了患者激活与健康行为之间的关系。方法：通过社交媒体招募参与者（N = 57）。使用患者激活测量®（PAM®）测量患者激活，并通过健康促进生活方式概况II （HPLP-II）评估健康行为。偏相关分析相关性，方差分析（ANOVA）检验组间差异。结果：患者激活与整体健康行为（r = 0.64, p < 0.001）和所有亚量表，包括健康责任、身体活动、营养、精神成长、人际关系和压力管理（范围= 0.39至0.64）显著相关。单因素方差分析证实了健康行为在不同激活水平上的显著差异。结论：PD患者较高的激活与更好的健康促进行为相关。评估激活可能有助于调整干预措施，以支持这一人群的健康老龄化。

期刊介绍： Research in Gerontological Nursing is a forum for disseminating peer-reviewed, interdisciplinary, cutting-edge gerontological nursing research and theory to investigators, educators, academicians, clinicians, and policymakers involved with older adults in all health care settings. The Journal accepts manuscripts reporting research, theory, integrative and systematic reviews, instrument development, and research methods with the aims of improving the wellness and quality of care of the older adult population. Theory papers should advance gerontological knowledge, and integrative reviews should provide an analysis of the state of the science and provide direction for future research.
