[Parkinson's disease: a bibliographic update of psychosocial aspects]
Abstract
Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) is the most common neurodegenerative disease, after Alzheimer's. The increase in its prevalence is due to a combination of factors. In 2016, over 6.1 million cases were registered and it is believed that this value will double by 2050, which is why it is considered a public health problem.
Objective: To carry out a literature review about the psychosocial aspects associated with PD, considering their importance as possible prodromal markers of the disease.
Method: A bibliographic search was made taking into account the material generated in the last 15 years, and using the databases PubMed, SciELO, Dialnet and Redalyc.
Conclusion: Research on PD primarily focus interest on the characteristics, symptoms, diagnosis and treatment. It´s observed the need of developing more scientific studies to obtain evidence regarding the sociodemographic, psychosocial and geographical characteristics of patients with PD. In adition, it’s important to increase the knowledge about the impact of depression and anxiety over PD. They can become decisive when diagnosing, but also for facing and sustaining an adequate treatment to achieve the patient’s well-being on physical, emotional and social aspects. Studies on Quality of life related to health and PD are also important in this regard.
Introducción: La Enfermedad de Parkinson (EP) es la enfermedad neurodegenerativa más común, después del Alzheimer. El aumento de su prevalencia se debe a una combinación de factores. En 2016 se registraron 6.1 millones casos y se cree que este valor se duplicará para el 2050, por lo que es considerado un problema de salud pública.
Objetivo: Realizar una revisión de la literatura acerca de los aspectos psicosociales asociados a la EP, ya que éstos tienen gran importancia como posibles marcadores prodrómicos de la enfermedad.
Metodología: Se realizó una búsqueda del material bibliográfico generado en los últimos 15 años, utilizando las bases de datos: PubMed, SciELO, Dialnet y Redalyc.
Conclusión: Las investigaciones sobre la EP centran fundamentalmente su interés en las características, síntomas, diagnóstico y tratamiento. Se detecta la necesidad de un mayor número de estudios científicos que obtengan evidencia respecto a las características sociodemográficas, psicosociales y geográficas de los pacientes con EP. Asimismo, se observa la necesidad de estudiar en mayor profundidad el impacto que la depresión y ansiedad puede tener sobre la enfermedad. Estos factores pueden ser determinantes tanto para el diagnóstico de la EP como también para el afrontamiento y adherencia de tratamientos que favorezcan el bienestar físico, emocional y social del paciente. Los estudios sobre la calidad de vida relacionada con la salud son importantes en este sentido.
