The Causes and Impact of Crisis for People with Parkinson’s Disease: A Patient and Carer Perspective
Fearn S, Bartolomeu Pires S, Agarwal V, Roberts HC, Spreadbury J and Kipps C
The reasons for acute hospital admissions among people with Parkinson’s disease are well documented. However, understanding of crises that are managed in the community is comparatively lacking. Most existing literature on the causes of crisis for people with Parkinson’s disease (PwP) uses hospital data and excludes the individual’s own perspective on the crisis trigger and the impact of the crisis on their care needs.
