Outcomes

Primary Outcomes

Quality of Life Scale (SF36)

It was developed to measure the quality of life in people with physical diseases. It is measured in 8 dimensions and 36 items: physical function, physical role difficulty, emotional role difficulty, viability, mental health, social functionality, pain, and general health perception.

Time frame: At the end of Color Therapy (therapy 9 times in total in 3 months)

Beck Anxiety Inventory (BAI)

It consists of 21 questions and a minimum score of 0 and a maximum score of 3 is obtained from each question. As a result of the answers to all questions, all answers are summed up and a total score is obtained. In the evaluation phase, the presence and level of depression is interpreted in line with the meanings expressed by the score ranges. In the evaluation, 0-9 point range defines the presence of minimal depressive symptoms, 10-16 point range defines the presence of mild depressive symptoms, 17-29 point range defines the presence of moderate depressive symptoms and 30-63 point range defines the presence of severe depressive symptoms. A score of 17 and above indicates a level of depression that may require treatment.

Time frame: At the end of Color Therapy (therapy 9 times in total in 3 months)

Parkinson's Fatigue Scale (PYO-16)

It consists of 16 items, with 5 responses for each item (1=strongly disagree, 5=strongly agree). The result evaluation can be done in two different ways. The total value is calculated as the average of the response to all items (value range 1-5). Scores above the average "3.3" are considered tired. In the other rating option, 0 (actual response 1-3) and 1 (actual response 4-5) are scored, with a total value between 0-16. A total of 8 points and above is considered tired. In both methods, a higher value indicates a higher level of fatigue.

Time frame: At the end of Color Therapy (therapy 9 times in total in 3 months)
