Research progress of fall efficacy in patients with Parkinson disease / 中国实用护理杂志

ABSTRACT

Fall efficacy is an important index reflecting the confidence and belief degree of individuals who do not fall in daily activities. Parkinson disease is a common neurodegenerative disease. Due to the deterioration of balance and other functions, the overall fall efficacy level is generally poor, which not only restricts the daily social interaction, but also further degrades the body function, and ultimately leads to the patients′ falling more easily, increased disability and decreased overall quality of life. This paper reviewed the concept, measurement tools, research status, influencing factors and intervention of fall efficacy in patients with Parkinson disease, and pointed out the existing problems and future directions, aiming to provide reference for further research on fall efficacy in patients with Parkinson disease in China.
