OBJECTIVE: The objective was to conduct a survey to examine what support is necessary for patients with Parkinson's Disease (PD) given in-home care in Japan and to determine the current status of care service utilization. In 2004, a questionnaire survey was conducted on the Tokyo chapter members of the Japan PD METHODS: Association and the results were compared with those from the 1995 survey performed on subjects from the same association. In the 1995 survey, half of the association members of the chapter were selected via random systematic sampling. In the 2004 survey, the questionnaire was mailed with a newsletter to all the association members of the chapter. The individuals returned their questionnaires by postal mail. The collection rates were 52.9% in 1995 and 21.3% in 2004. In both surveys, the mean age of RESULTS: the participants was 69.0 years old. The respondents in the 2004 survey had a higher severity of disease and a larger percentage answered that they had predominant symptoms and difficulties with daily life. Regarding participation in various activities, opportunities to work had decreased, but the possibility of meeting people other than at work and to engage in hobbies and relax had increased. Regarding sources of information, decrease was noted for public health nurses and increase for magazines. There was an increase in the number of people who were told that their problem was psychological at their initial diagnosis. 58.2% of the respondents in the 2004 survey received approval for long-term care insurance, and 37.3% of these reported that they their symptoms were more severe than the level for which they were approved. 7.5% of the respondents answered that their condition had worsened after admission to a nursing facility. CONCLUSION: The results of this 2004 survey have limitations and might not be characteristic of all PD patients. However, the respondents answered that their severity of disease was high and their difficulties increased, despite increase in opportunities to enjoy hobbies and to relax. Clearly, some patients feel that their condition is more severe than the level recognized by the primary nursing care authorities, with some considering that their conditions worsened after receipt of services. Understanding the characteristics of PD, provision of services appropriate to patients' symptoms, and ways of incorporating rehabilitation in patients' daily lives appear to be increasingly necessary. Information support is necessary to understand how best to provide psychological support for PD patients.

This study assessed the symptoms, treatment, social systems use, and perception of living conditions of patients with young-onset Parkinson’s disease (YOPD), and investigated the support needed by them. Method: Among the 252 people who completed our questionnaire, we defined YOPD patients as those diagnosed as young onset or those with onset at ≤40 years. The data were compared with others. Results: There were 24 patients with YOPD (9.5%) (average age: 61.7 years), with an average disease duration 6.4 years longer (p < 0.01) and time until diagnosis 0.7 years longer (p < 0.1) than those of other patients. This group took 1.6 times more types of medicines, and time to their next appointment was 8.6 days shorter than that of other patients (p < 0.05). Patients with YOPD had more pulsive walking and more sweating (p < 0.05), and more motor fluctuation (p < 0.1). More patients with YOPD had a physical disability certificate but felt they were not obtaining the required services (p < 0.05). 45.0% of the YOPD group wanted to work more, more used information and communication equipment (p < 0.05), and more felt their medications were adequate (p < 0.1). Conclusions: Increased awareness of YOPD is needed. YOPD patients have motor fluctuation because of the longer disease duration. Thus, the support of doctors and nurses, and frequent examination visits, are indispensable for controlling symptoms to achieve middle age developmental tasks. Increased support for care-giving, leisure-time activities, and work is also necessary and may help maintain the desire to work in this group.
