Abstract

Abstract Objectives: The specific aims were to: (a) assess the magnitude of stigma reported by individuals with essential tremor (ET); (b) examine whether predictors of stigma in Parkinson’s disease (PD) would be replicated with ET participants; and (c) examine the relationship between specific dependent (stigma) and independent variable items disability, social anxiety, depression. Methods: ET and PD participants completed online questionnaires assessing tremor disability, self-reported depression, social anxiety, and stigma. Results: A hierarchical multiple regression analysis indicated 67% of the variance in stigma was explained by tremor disability with social anxiety significantly adding explanatory power. Discussion: Findings partially replicated those related to PD. Results provide empirical support and expand understanding of ET-related psychosocial disability. Research is needed regarding the relation between self- and perceived stigma and quality of life among individuals with ET. Interventions that have been shown to reduce tremor may also lessen stigma. Keywords: Essential tremor; Parkinson’s disease; Stigma; Tremor Disability Scale-evised; Social Anxiety

原发性震颤患者耻辱感的预测

摘要目的:具体目的是:(a)评估特发性震颤(ET)患者报告的耻感程度;(b)检查帕金森病(PD)的病耻感预测因素是否会在ET参与者中重复;(c)考察特定依赖项(耻辱感)与自变量项目残疾、社交焦虑、抑郁的关系。方法:ET和PD参与者完成评估震颤残疾、自我报告抑郁、社交焦虑和耻辱感的在线问卷。结果:层次多元回归分析显示，67%的耻辱感变异可由震颤残疾和社交焦虑解释，显著增加了解释力。讨论:研究结果部分重复了与PD相关的结果。结果提供了实证支持，并扩大了对et相关心理社会障碍的理解。需要对ET患者自我和感知的耻辱感与生活质量之间的关系进行研究。已经证明减少震颤的干预措施也可能减轻耻辱感。关键词:特发性震颤;帕金森病;污名;震颤残疾量表修订版;社会焦虑
