Perception of safety of patients with idiopathic Parkinson's syndrome (iPS)

Description

Ensuring patient safety is one of the most important pillars of healthcare. Patients are increasingly recognised as important stakeholders in improving the quality and safety of healthcare. Accordingly, there is a growing demand to actively involve patients in the process of ensuring their own safety.

Against this background, a cross-sectional study is being conducted to determine the prevalence of feelings of insecurity in people with idiopathic Parkinson's syndrome (iPS) and to quantify the associated factors that lead to a reduced sense of safety. The knowledge gained will be used to improve the care of iPS patients by avoiding situations or conditions that impair feelings of safety and addressing the underlying causes more effectively.

By conducting this study, we aim to empower Parkinson's patients and promote a collaborative approach to healthcare in which those affected are active partners in ensuring their own safety. This will not only improve the quality of care for patients, but also their overall experience of healthcare.
