Detailed Description
This study is a nonrandomized, pilot study of an interdisciplinary, patient-centric model of health care delivery in a "boot camp" style structured clinic for people diagnosed with Parkinson's disease (PwPD). 20 participants will attend a three session EMPOWER PD clinic and a two month follow up interview.
Participants will receive a comprehensive assessment by each member of an interdisciplinary team including physical therapy, speech therapy, nutrition, social work or psychology, and pharmacy. Participants will return the following week for a half day educational symposium. This is a group format and they will receive a session from each of the disciplines covering topics such as exercise, nutrition, communication, socialization, sleep hygiene, medication management, and coping. The final clinic session will be a one hour 1:1 meeting where individualized recommendations will be provided. A participant identified caregiver is invited/allowed to accompany the participant throughout the assessment and educational process whenever possible however, no information or questionnaires are being collected from them.
The primary objective is to assess feasibility and acceptability of the newly developed clinic intervention as well as individual perception of experience and barriers with data derived from a program survey and semi-structured interview completed two months after clinic completion. Secondary objectives will test patient response to clinic intervention related to self-reported outcome measures (SROs) including Patient Centered Outcome Questionnaire PD, PD Knowledge, quality of life, fatigue, confidence with balance, and self-efficacy for exercise.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Feasibility: Semi-structured Interview
Time Frame: End of Study - 2 Months
|
Acceptability, process, barriers, and perception of experience of clinic as measured by qualitative framework analysis of semi-structured interview
|
End of Study - 2 Months
|
Feasibility: Program Survey
Time Frame: End of Study - 2 Months
|
A series of statements regarding acceptability, process, barriers, and perception of experience of clinic will b scored by participants on a scale of 1 (disagree) to 5 (agree) with a higher score on each statement indicating more positive outcome.

Change in Patient Centered Outcome Questionnaire
Time Frame: End of Study - 2 Months
|
Parkinson's Disease (PCOQ-PD) The PCOQ-PD evaluates treatment success and expectations from the patient's perspective across 10 motor and non-motor functional domains grouped into four sections.
Patients are asked to rate for each domain with each section: (1) their usual levels of self-defined difficulty over the past week, (2) their success criteria for treatment outcomes, (3) their expectations for their treatment, regardless of their previous treatment experiences, and (4) how important it was for them to see improvement.
Participants used a 101-point numerical rating scale to indicate their rating, anchored by 0 ("None") to 100 ("Worst Imaginable") for the first three sections and by 0 ("Not at All Important") to 100 ("Most Important") for the fourth section.

Change in Parkinson's Disease Knowledge Questionnaire
Time Frame: Post Education Seminar - 2 weeks
|
Knowledge regarding Parkinson's disease as measured by the Parkinson's Disease Knowledge Questionnaire.
Participants indicate their knowledge of 26 items related to Parkinson's disease with a true or false response.
|
Post Education Seminar - 2 weeks
|
Change in Health Education Impact Questionnaire
Time Frame: End of Study - 2 Months
|
Subjects score 42 items across 8 domains using a Likert-style question format indicated their strength of agreement by checking an option from 1 ("strongly disagree") through 4 ("strongly agree").

End of Study - 2 Months

Secondary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Change in Self-Efficacy for Exercise
Time Frame: End of Study - 2 Months
|
Self-Efficacy for Exercise scale consists of nine situations (weather, boredom, exercising alone, not pleasurable, too busy, feel tired, stress, depressed) that might effect participation in exercise For each situation, the subject uses the scale from 0 (not confident) to 10 (very confident) to describe their current confidence that they could exercise 3 times a week for 20 minutes each time.
Total score is calculated by summing the responses to each question.
This scale has a range of total scores from 0-90.
A higher score indicates higher self-efficacy for exercise
|
End of Study - 2 Months
|
Change in balance confidence measured with the Activities-specific Balance Confidence (ABC) Scale.
Time Frame: End of Study - 2 Months
|
The ABC is The ABC is an 11-point scale and ratings should consist of whole numbers (0-100) for each item.
Total the ratings (possible range = 0 - 1600) and divide by 16 to get each subject's ABC score.
|
End of Study - 2 Months
|
Change in quality of life measured with the Parkinson Disease Questionnaire-39 (PDQ-39)
Time Frame: End of Study - 2 Months
|
The PDQ-39 is a 39-item self-report questionnaire, which assesses Parkinson's disease-specific health related quality over the last month covering 8 dimensions scored on a 5 point ordinal system (0=never, 4=always).
Dimension score = sum of scores of each item in the dimension divided by the maximum possible score of all the items in the dimension, multiplied by 100.
Each dimension total score range from 0 (never have difficulty) to 100 (always have difficulty).
Lower scores reflect better QoL.
Overall score can be summarized in the Parkinson's Disease Summary Index (PDSI) or PDQ-39 Summary Index (PDQ-39 SI).PDSI or PDQ-39 SI = sum of dimension total scores divided by 8.
|
End of Study - 2 Months
|
Change in the Parkinson's Fatigue Scale (PFS-16).
Time Frame: End of Study - 2 Months
|
The PFS-16 is a 16-item patient rated scale based on feelings and experiences over the past two weeks.
Seven items tap the presence or absence of the subjective experience of fatigue with an emphasis on the physical effects of fatigue and nine items address the impact of fatigue on daily functioning and activities, including socialization and work but not exercise specifically.
Scoring options range from 1 ("strongly disagree") to 5 (strongly agree").
A total ordinal PFS score ranging from 16-80 based on the sum of the scores will be used.
