Methods:A total of 190 in patients with Parkinson ′s disease (PD) were selected from April to July 2017 in the First Affiliated Hospital of Dalian Medical University. The general data questionnaire, Mental Resilience Scale and 39-Item Quality of Life (QOL) Questionnaires were used to investigate among the patients. Results:The mental resilience score of PD patients was 48.0 (29.8, 62.2) points and the quality of life score was 56.0 (27.8, 82.0) points. There was a significant negative correlation between mental resilience and quality of life score ( r value was -0.538, P<0.01). Multivariate linear regression analysis showed that with the increase of psychological elasticity score, the score of quality of life decreased ( b value was -0.002, P<0.001). Conclusions:The mental resilience and quality of life of PD patients are both at a low level, the improvement of mental resilience is beneficial to improve their quality of life.
