Patients are the best source of HRQoL; however, co-reporting is common in clinical settings, but has not been compared to independent patient reporting of HRQoL. Fifty-nine Parkinson’s disease (PD) patient–spouse pairs completed the Short Form Health Status Survey (SF-12), measuring mental and physical HRQoL. Initially, the patient and spouse completed the SF-12 independently (about the patient). Then, patient–spouse pairs completed the SF-12 together assessing the patient’s HRQoL. Patients and spouses independently completed the Mutuality Scale rating the intimacy of their relationship. Patients rated physical HRQoL higher (M = 46.6) than spouses alone (M = 43.4, p |
