Parkinson's disease does not see only "trembling"

In the preliminary study of Parkinson's disease, it is important to look at not only resting tremor and slow movement but also the influence on life.

Watch the scene where it is difficult to move

Start walking, changing direction, changing clothes, eating, excretion, etc.

Do not forget non-motor symptoms

Constipation, sleep disorders, orthostatic hypotension, depression, etc. are also related to daily rhythm and risk of falling.

See how the medicine works

If there is a time when the medicine is effective and it is easy to move and a time when it is difficult to move, it greatly affects ADL.

Connect to life scenes in practice

It is easier to assess if you look at not only "there are symptoms," but also how they affect diet, excretion, movement, and sleep.

Please save it so that you can review it before practice.

Why Nursing?

... Read moreパーキンソン病の理解は、単に振戦などの分かりやすい症状だけでなく、患者さんの生活全体にどのような影響を及ぼすかを捉えることが大切です。私が実際に看護実習でパーキンソン病の患者さんを担当した際には、朝の薬の効果が切れる「オフ」状態での動きづらさが強く、歩行開始や方向転換に時間がかかるため、移動時の転倒リスクが特に高いことに気づきました。 さらに非運動症状の便秘や睡眠障害も、患者さんの生活リズムや体調に大きく関与しているため、単に症状を観察するだけでなく、日常生活の質を損ねる要因として丁寧に評価することが求められます。食事のさいむせや嚥下障害がある場合は誤嚥性肺炎の予防も考え、介助や環境調整を積極的に行う必要があると感じました。 薬の効き目が切れる時間帯と効いている時間帯の変動に合わせて生活支援を計画することも重要です。具体的には、薬が効いている「オン」時間帯にリハビリや移動を促し、「オフ」時間帯は転倒防止のための見守りを強化しました。このような細かな観察と対応が、患者さんの自立支援とQOL向上に繋がると実感しています。 この実習経験から得たのは、パーキンソン病は単なる「ふるえ」の病気ではなく、複数の運動症状と非運動症状が複合的に患者の日常生活に影響を及ぼすため、包括的な視点でアセスメントすることが必要だということです。看護学生や実習生の皆さんにも、患者さんの生活場面に目を向け、症状ごとの具体的な支援方法を学んでほしいと思います。
