【Abstract】 Objective To explore the impact of social support on the risk and severity of depression in Parkinsons Disease (PD) patients. Methods Fifty patients with PD and depression admitted to our hospital from January 2020 to October 2023 were selected as the comorbid group, and another 32 patients with simple PD during the same period were selected as the non comorbid group. Evaluate and compare two sets of Social Support Rating Scale (SSRS), as well as baseline data (gender, age, course of disease, years of education) and SSRS factor scores and total scores of PD patients with different levels of depression. Use Spearman rank correlation analysis to examine the correlation between SSRS factor scores and total scores and the degree of depression in PD patients. Results The subjective support, objective support, support utilization score, and total score of the merged group were lower than those of the non merged group, and the difference was statistically significant (P<0.05); There was no statistically significant difference in gender, age, disease duration, and years of education among the three groups (P>0.05);Comparison of subjective support, objective support, support utilization score and total score: mild group>moderate group>severe group, with statistically significant differences (P<0.05); The scores and total scores of various factors in SSRS are negatively correlated with the degree of depression in PD patients, and P<0.05. Conclusion There is a negative correlation between social support and the degree of depression in PD patients, and close clinical monitoring is necessary.
