2026년 11월 2일 업데이트: Rubens da Silva, Université du Québec à Chicoutimi

Nature-based Therapy Program for Sustainable Health in Parkinson's Disease (PARC Project) - A Clinical Trial

The goal of this clinical trial is first to determine the feasibility and to learn if a nature-based program has positive effects on the physical and psychosocial health in a group of participants with Parkinson's disease. The main questions for this purpose are:

Will the program improve:

  • The physical outcomes such as mobility, strength and balance?
  • The psychosocial health outcomes?

Participants will participate in one session per week of the intervention and be assessed before and after the program. First, the adherence will be measured as the proportion of supervised outdoor sessions completed. Dropout rate will correspond to participants who will not finish the 8-week protocol, including pre- and post-intervention assessments. Satisfaction will be evaluated with a post-intervention questionnaire rating the exercise component, nature-based activities, and the PARC program on a 4-point Likert scale (0-3), capturing clarity, usefulness, difficulty, and acceptability. Adverse effects will be documented throughout the intervention. Qualitative benefits such as increased hope and improved social interaction will be collected after sessions.

연구 개요

상세 설명

The chronic and neurodegenerative disease of Parkinson's (PD) is often characterized by movement and balance disorders, which are accompanied by an increased risk of falls. Falls are one of the most common problems that can lead to subsequent injuries (e.g., femoral head fracture) and associated mortality rates. Falls are frequent, debilitating, and have deleterious effects on self-confidence and the quality of life of individuals with PD. Additionally, according to Parkinson Canada, a high proportion of individuals living with this disease suffer from depression and/or anxiety. Therefore, it is essential to implement intervention programs aimed at improving the physical and functional capacity as well as the well-being of this population to prevent falls and promote sustainable health.

In recent years, an increasing number of studies have demonstrated the benefits of contact with nature on the physical and mental health of individuals. Specific and positive effects on psychological symptoms (e.g., depression) as well as cognition (memory) in adults have also been shown according to this recent evidence. This stimulates our research team to test the effects of a physical intervention in nature on the physical and mental health of individuals suffering from PD. One of the perspectives of this new intervention in nature is also to evaluate its impact on fall risks in this population. The ultimate goal of this project is to contribute to the sustainable health of the population.

The overall objective of this project, based on a pilot study, is to assess the feasibility and the effects of an 8-week nature-based intervention program on the physical and mental health of individuals with PD. The feasibility indicators are:

Adherence - proportion of supervised outdoor sessions that will be completed by participants; Dropout Rate - proportion of participants who will not complete the full 8-week protocol, including pre- and post-intervention assessments; Satisfaction - participant satisfaction will be measured with a brief post-intervention questionnaire using a 4-point Likert scale assessing clarity, usefulness, difficulty, and acceptability of the NBI/PARC program; Adverse Effects - any adverse events will be documented throughout the intervention; and Perceived Benefits - qualitative feedback will be collected on perceived benefits such as increased hope and improved social interaction. In addition, various physical measures (mobility, strength, and balance) and mental measures (level of depression, stress) will be studied in this project to better understand the effects of this type of intervention.

기간
Depression state (PHQ-9)
기간: change from baseline at 0 to 8 weeks

The Patient Health Questionnaire-9 (PHQ-9) is a self-administered tool used to screen, diagnose, monitor, and measure the severity of depression. It consists of nine questions based on the diagnostic criteria for major depressive disorder in the DSM-5 (Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders, Fifth Edition).Respondents rate how often they have experienced each symptom over the past two weeks on a scale ranging from 0 (not at all) to 3 (nearly every day). The scores are then added together to produce a total score ranging from 0 to 27, with higher scores indicating greater severity of depressive symptoms

change from baseline at 0 to 8 weeks
Retention rate
기간: 8 weeks

roportion of participants completing the full 8-week protocol including pre- and post-intervention assessments.

8 weeks
Adherence to supervised outdoor sessions

8 weeks
Qualitative feedback on perceived benefits
기간: through study completion, an average of 8 weeks.

Qualitative feedback collected after each session through brief open-ended questions documenting perceived benefits such as increased hope, enhanced social interaction, and other emergent themes.

through study completion, an average of 8 weeks.
Well-being state (WHO-5)
기간: change from baseline at 0 to 8 weeks

The World Health Organization Well-Being Index (WHO-5) is a widely used self-reported questionnaire designed to measure subjective well-being. It assesses the individual's overall psychological well-being and quality of life. The WHO-5 consists of five simple questions that ask respondents to rate their well-being over the past two weeks. The questions cover aspects such as positive mood, vitality, and general interest in life.

The questionnaire is scored on a scale from 0 to 100, with higher scores indicating better well-being.

change from baseline at 0 to 8 weeks
Social Provisions (SPS-10)
기간: change from baseline at 0 to 8 weeks

The Social Provisions Scale-10 (SPS-10) is a shorter version of the original Social Provisions Scale (SPS). It is a brief self-report questionnaire designed to measure perceived social support across five dimensions. The SPS-10 is derived from the longer SPS but consists of a subset of items that capture key aspects of social support.

Similar to the original SPS, respondents rate their agreement with each item on a Likert scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 4 (strongly agree). The SPS-10 provides a quick and efficient way to assess an individual's perceived social support network and their satisfaction with various aspects of their social relationships.

change from baseline at 0 to 8 weeks
Connection to nature (CNS)
기간: change from baseline at 0 to 8 weeks

The Connection to Nature Scale (CNS) is a psychological assessment tool designed to measure an individual's subjective connection to nature. It evaluates the degree to which people perceive themselves as a part of the natural world and the extent to which they appreciate and value nature in their lives.

Respondents are asked to rate their agreement with each statement on a Likert scale, ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree). The scores are then totaled to provide an overall measure of an individual's connection to nature.

Frailty criteria from Fried (inclusion criterium only)
기간: change from baseline at 0 to 8 weeks

The presence of frailty criteria according to Fried was assessed with self-report questions and two physical tests from five characteristics : 1) Low physical activity (to capture history of sedentary behavior or activity: ex. Do you get any physical exercise for the sake of exercising? How often do you leave your house?); 2) fatigue (complaint of exhaustion with normal activity such as walking outside, climbing stairs: ex. I felt that everything I did was an effort in the last week?); 3) weight loss (unintentional weight loss 10 lbs. or more in past year or more than 5% in past year); 4) weakness (grip strength evaluated with manual dynamometer; in average <30 kg for men and <18 kg for women, but data is normalized by body mass index); 5) slowness or slow walking speed (usual gait speed over 4.57 meters (15 feet); ex. >6.5 seconds, dependent of height).
