The relationship between spiritual care needs and care dependency in Parkinson's disease has not been examined before. This study was carried out to determine the relationship between care dependency and spiritual care needs of Parkinson's patients. Understanding this relationship is important for individuals with Parkinson's disease to receive holistic care. This descriptive and cross-sectional study was conducted with 155 individuals diagnosed with Parkinson's disease at the neurology clinic of a city hospital in Türkiye. To determine the care dependency and spiritual care needs of the participants, the Care Dependency Scale and the Spiritual Care Needs Inventory were used. The care dependency and spiritual care need of the participants were found to be moderate. There was a negative and significant relationship between these two variables. As spiritual care needs decreased, independence levels increased. The results showed that the spiritual care needs of Parkinson's patients may have an important role in reducing their care dependency. Therefore, to reduce the care dependency levels of Parkinson's patients, healthcare professionals are recommended to evaluate their spiritual care needs and consider spiritual care needs as part of holistic care.
帕金森病患者的精神关怀需求与护理依赖之间的关系此前尚未得到研究。本研究旨在确定帕金森病患者护理依赖与精神关怀需求之间的关系。了解这种关系对于帕金森病患者接受整体护理至关重要。本描述性横断面研究对土耳其一家城市医院神经科诊所确诊的155名帕金森病患者进行。为确定参与者的护理依赖和精神关怀需求，使用了护理依赖量表和精神关怀需求量表。参与者的护理依赖和精神关怀需求被发现处于中等水平。这两个变量之间存在显著负相关关系。随着精神关怀需求的减少，独立水平提高。结果表明，帕金森病患者的精神关怀需求可能在降低其护理依赖方面发挥重要作用。因此，为降低帕金森病患者的护理依赖水平，建议医疗保健专业人员评估他们的精神关怀需求，并将精神关怀需求视为整体护理的一部分。
