Abstract:   (135 Views)
Introduction: Parkinson's disease (PD) and its surgical treatment affect various aspects of patients' lives. Understanding the experiences of patients with Parkinson's disease following surgery is essential for providing proper and comprehensive care. This study aims to assess the life experiences of patients with PD after brain electrode implantation surgery. Materials and Methods: This study follows a qualitative approach using interpretive phenomenology and was conducted in 2024. Twelve patients with PD who had undergone brain electrode implantation surgery were selected based on inclusion criteria. In-depth, semi-structured interviews were used to collect data. The interviews were recorded, transcribed, and analyzed using a hermeneutic approach, based on the Van Manen method, to ensure the reliability of the qualitative data. Results: The average age of the participants was 62 years, with a range of ages from 55 to 72 years. Data analysis revealed three main themes: physical dimensions, psychological dimensions, and social dimensions. Conclusion: The experiences of PD patients after brain electrode implantation surgery indicate that the procedure impacts physical, psychological, and social aspects of their lives. Understanding the challenges, experiences, and concerns of patients regarding this disease and its treatment can help decision-makers, healthcare providers, and mental health professionals gain a comprehensive understanding of its consequences.
