Primary outcome measure(s)
Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) Total Score — Baseline (at the time of questionnaire completion) Self-Compassion Scale (SCS) total score. The Self-Compassion Scale consists of 26 items scored on a 1- to 5-point Likert scale. Total scores range from 1 to 5 (calculated as the mean of all items), with higher scores indicating greater self-compassion (better outcome).
Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale Total Score — Baseline (at the time of questionnaire completion) Self-Efficacy for Managing Chronic Disease 6-Item Scale total score. The scale consists of 6 items scored from 1 (not at all confident) to 10 (totally confident). The total score is calculated as the mean of the six items, ranging from 1 to 10, with higher scores indicating greater self-efficacy for managing chronic disease (better outcome).
Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) Total Score — Baseline (at the time of questionnaire completion) Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating Scale (UPDRS) total score. The total score ranges from 0 to 199, with higher scores indicating greater Parkinson's disease severity and worse clinical status (worse outcome).
