Abstract
This psychosocial characterization study proposes the integration of the variable of knowledge of PD patients' rights with aspects related to physical health, physical activity, emotional state, and health care in a sample of 61 people with PD. The psychosocial approach addresses complementary variables to the clinical diagnosis of PD, such as socioeconomic, educational, cultural, and family variables. The rights-based approach is consistent about the effects on these different areas of life and seeks to ensure that health care is comprehensive and contributes to people's well-being, beyond the treatment of symptoms. The instrument used to obtain the data corresponds to a Likert scale designed, piloted, evaluated, and applied to the data analyzed quantitatively and qualitatively. The results show low levels of knowledge of PD patients' rights. The analysis reports a significant correlation between physical health and emotional states (rho=0.421, p<.001 CI95% [0.60, -0.18]), and a significant correlation between physical activity and knowledge of rights (rho=0.347, p<.001, CI95% [0.55, - 0.10]). People with prepaid medicine have higher scores in physical health (M= 85.6, SD= 13.5) and emotional states (M= 16.1, SD= 5.1).
