The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore factors associated with the ability of people with PD to perform food-related activities (FRAs). Eleven dyads, older adults with Parkinson disease (PD) and their care-partners ( = 22), completed virtual semi-structured interviews guided by the Social Cognitive Theory (SCT) that were independently analyzed by two coders via directed content analysis. The following themes were identified-(1) Personal: perception of a healthy diet, perception of how nutrition influences PD, confidence in following a healthy diet, and barriers to performing FRA; (2) Environmental: previous sources of nutrition information and willingness to changing their diet with a registered dietitian; and (3) Behavioral: modifications to FRA due to food-medication interactions, and skills necessary to maintain a healthy diet. Findings from this study highlight the need for nutrition intervention research to inform evidence-based guidelines in order to provide tailored education for people with PD and care-partners.
这项定性研究的目的是探讨与帕金森病（PD）患者进行与食物相关活动（FRA）的能力相关的因素。11对患有帕金森病（PD）的老年人及其护理伙伴（共22人）完成了由社会认知理论（SCT）指导的虚拟半结构化访谈，两名编码员通过定向内容分析对访谈进行了独立分析。确定了以下主题：（1）个人因素：对健康饮食的认知、对营养如何影响帕金森病的认知、遵循健康饮食的信心以及进行FRA的障碍；（2）环境因素：以前的营养信息来源以及与注册营养师一起改变饮食的意愿；（3）行为因素：由于食物与药物相互作用而对FRA进行的调整，以及维持健康饮食所需的技能。这项研究的结果强调了营养干预研究的必要性，以便为基于证据的指南提供信息，从而为帕金森病患者及其护理伙伴提供量身定制的教育。
