摘要

Objective: To explore the relationship between (1) the number of occupations and quality of life, and (2) the execution level of occupations and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease (PD). Method: This is a secondary analysis study. The original data were interviews of 16 participants with PD (9 males and 7 females; mean age of 64.88 years old) on adjustments after the disease onset and current life arrangement. Two raters coded occupation from interview transcripts, counted the number, and assessed the level of execution. Correlational analysis was used to compute the association between the number and execution level of occupations with the quality of life. Results: After controlling for disease severity, all types of activities, except for activities of daily living, were slightly, non-significantly correlated with the quality of life (r=-.27- -.29, p＞.05). For execution level, all types of activities were moderately to highly correlated with the quality of life (r=-.53- -.84, p＜.05). Conclusion: The execution level of activities of daily living as well as productive, leisure and physical activities plays important roles in the quality of life of patients with PD. Occupational therapists should provide assistance regarding these types of occupations to enhance the patients' quality of life.
