| Abstrakt: | Parkinson's disease (PD) is the second most common age-related neurodegenerative disease after Alzheimer's disease. Cognitive impairments are frequent non-motor symptoms in PD and have a significant impact on everyday life and well-being. Still, rehabilitation services for people with PD predominantly target motor symptoms. Drawing on data from a national Danish survey, this study aimed to determine significant differences among people living with PD with or without perceived cognitive impairments regarding (1) contact with different healthcare professionals, and (2) unmet needs for rehabilitation services. Data were analyzed based on whether the person with PD perceived cognitive impairments or not. Statistically significant differences between results for PD patients with and without cognitive impairments were calculated. Data on 6711 individuals with PD were included in the study. Respondents' mean age was 73.5 years, and 31% of them were experiencing cognitive impairments. Significantly more people with PD and cognitive impairments were in contact with almost all professionals compared to those without cognitive impairments. However, individuals experiencing cognitive impairments were less often in contact with the professions most experienced in cognitive rehabilitation. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
