“Nursing Solutions: The Parkinson Community and Spirituality”

Program: Parkinson’s disease (PD) is a chronic, neurodegenerative disease that can cause a multitude of physical discomforts and psychosocial stressors. In some cases, people with PD experience anxiety, depression and even hopelessness, despite the best medical management. Spiritual practices may help mitigate stress and provide a source of inner strength for those with chronic diseases. This program will explore the use of spirituality in managing PD care and provide examples of work in this area by nurses
