| Abstract: | Background: Quality of life (QoL) is a commonly used outcome measure in people with chronicneurological diseases (CND). As valuable as QoL is, it does not take into account aspects of subjective well-being (SWB) such as subjective happiness, meaning in life, life satisfaction and hope; all constructs that areconsidered central to well-being.ObjectivesObjectives: The goal was to assess how the different aspects of SWB are altered in Parkinson’s disease(PD) and dystonia relative to healthy controls (HCs) and to identify the most important predictors of differentdimensions of SWB in PD and dystonia.MethodsMethods: Eighty-two people with PD, 63 with dystonia, and 50 HCs were surveyed using various measuresof SWB.ResultsResults: People with PD and dystonia had significantly lower satisfaction with life than HCs, with self-esteemand loneliness being significant covariates. Although people with PD and dystonia had significantly lessmeaning in life, they still sought meaning in life as much as HCs. Self-esteem, resilience and neuroticism weresignificant covariates for the presence of “meaning in life.” There were no significant group differences insubjective happiness or hope. In people with PD, mood (depression and anxiety), personality traits (extraversionand self-esteem), disease duration, and pain/discomfort were significant predictors of various measures ofSWB. The main significant predictor of SWB in dystonia was depression, which predicted 49% of the variance insubjective happiness.ConclusionsConclusions: These results emphasize the importance of SWB as a field of investigation and clinical care in themanagement of people with PD and dystonia |
