Culture, Gender, and Health Care Stigma in Parkinsonism @ Boston University DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): The overall goal of the proposed research is to understand the stigmatizing role of the movement disorder of Parkinson's disease (PD) in health care practitioners' assessment of patient psychological traits, in the patient-practitioner relationship, and in the development of intervention recommendations. The first specific aim of the research is to elucidate the consequences of the operation of movement stereotypes on practitioner impressions of and conclusions about patients with PD. The second specific aim is to document the interaction of expressive masking (the diminishment of normal movement) with gender and culture on stigma outcomes. The third specific aim is to determine the degree to which practitioner expertise moderates the stigmatizing role of expressive masking on practitioner perceptions of and conclusions about patients. The fourth specific aim is to evaluate the clinical utility of the findings from the perspective of expert practitioners. Twelve Taiwanese patients (6 females and 6 males) and 12 American patients (6 females and 6 males) will be videotaped during a standardized health care interview in their respective homelands. Within each group of 6 patients (gender crossed with culture), there will be 3 patients with high expressive masking and 3 patients with normal expressive movement. Excerpts from the resulting 24 tapes will be shown to expert and novice health care practitioners in Taiwan and the U.S. who will assess patients' social and mental competence and potential for entering into a successful therapeutic relationship. In addition, the practitioners will make quality-of-life intervention recommendations. The results of the study will be presented to expert practitioners, in focus groups, who will evaluate the clinical utility of the findings and make recommendations for interventions to reduce practitioners' stigma responses. It is anticipated that PD with expressive masking will be more stigmatizing than PD without masking, especially as demonstrated in outcomes for novice compared to expert practitioners. It is also anticipated that negative outcomes of masking will be greater for female than male and American than Taiwanese patients because of different norms associated with movement expression in these groups. |

Emergence and Evolution of Social Self-Management of Parkinsons Disease @ Tufts University Medford DESCRIPTION (provided by applicant): Parkinson's disease (PD), one of the most common age-related neurodegenerative disorders, affects facial, vocal and trunk muscles. As this progressive decline occurs, an expressive mask descends, limiting the person's ability to communicate emotions and intentions to others, which may give the impression that the person is cold, asocial or apathetic. Thus, people with PD are living longer and residing in their homes longer, the burden of care-giving is unmitigated by the social and emotional rewards provided by an expressive individual. While this disability has been discussed in the literature, relatively litle is known about how adults living with a chronic physical disease such as PD manage their social lives and how an inability to be emotionally expressive can affect social connections. Because social networks have been shown to be crucial to the overall well-being of people living with chronic diseases, research on how expressive capacity affects life trajectories and overall health is critically needed. The overall objective of this project is to understand the emergence and evolution of social self-management trajectories of people living with PD, and this work has the potential to significantly advance PD research and evidence-based neurological nursing and rehabilitation. We will test the central hypothesis that PD expressive capacity predicts systematic change in the pattern of social self-management of PD and quality of life outcomes. The Specific Aims of this three-year longitudinal study of 120 patients with PD and a maximum of 120 care partners are: 1) Characterize social self-management trajectories of individuals with PD over a three-year period; 2) Estimate the degree to which expressive nonverbal capacity predicts the social self-management trajectory; and 3) Determine the moderating effect of gender on the association between expressive capacity and change in social self-management. Over the three-year project period, we will assess patients with PD and a care partner 14 times each to examine such factors as social participation and management of social activities; social network; and social comfort, general health and well-being. Descriptive analyses will be performed on the total sample and on meaningful demographic and clinical subgroups. This study is designed to have sufficient power to detect changes over time and to detect differences in gender. Our contribution is significant because it will provide evidence to guide the development of interventions aimed at supporting social integration of people living with PD, thus leading to improved overall health. The proposed work is innovative because, to the best of our knowledge, it is the first to focus on the novel construct of social self-management and does so in a manner that reflects the daily lived experience of PD. Further, we go beyond descriptive evidence to rigorously test hypotheses regarding factors known to contribute to social stigmatization, expressive capacity and gender. |

@ Tufts University The overarching scientific goal of this project is two-fold: (1) to develop a robotic architecture endowed with moral emotional control mechanisms, abstract moral reasoning, and a theory of mind that allow corobots to be sensitive to human affective and ethical demands, and (2) to develop a specific instance of the architecture for a co-robot mediator between people with "facial masking" due to Parkinson's disease (PD) that reduces their ability to signal emotion, pain, personality and intentions to their family caregivers, and health care providers who often misinterpret the lack of emotional expressions as disinterest and an inability to adhere to treatment regimen, resulting in stigmatization. To tackle these problems, the project brings together two roboticists with extensive prior experience in robot ethics and modeling emotions as well as implementing them in integrated autonomous robotic systems. The robotics expertise is combined with that of an expert in early PD rehabilitation and daily social life. The project will build on extensive software, hardware and data set resources, including complex robotic control architectures with ethical control mechanisms, personality and emotion models, and affect and natural language capabilities. |
