ABSTRACT
PURPOSE:
To identify and synthesize qualitative literature on the experiences of participants and key stakeholders in dance programs for people living with Parkinson's disease. Synthesizing the available literature can generate new insights into participant experience to inform current and future programs. MATERIALS ANDMETHODS:
Qualitative and mixed methods studies were identified via a systematic search of six databases CINAHL, Web of Science, Scopus, SPORTDiscus, PsycInfo, and MEDLINE. Articles were synthesized using the meta-ethnographic method developed by Noblit and Hare (1988). Key concepts across studies were related via reciprocal translation, ultimately forming a line-of-argument synthesis.RESULTS:
26 articles met the inclusion criteria. Four interrelated, overarching themes were developed (1) dance communities provide peer support and insight into living with Parkinson's, (2) feeling safe, accepted, and included in the dance experience, (3) overcoming dance-based challenges contributes to sense of achievement, confidence, and connectedness, and (4) dance participation is an opportunity to re-imagine oneself.CONCLUSION:
Participant experience is shaped by the instructor-participant relationship, the social environment of classes, and class difficulty level. In order to support participant experience, classes should be safe, supportive, and have an appropriate challenge-skill balance. These qualities facilitate creative immersion and the potential for personal and collective change.
Physical activity can improve functional ability and quality of life in people living with Parkinson's disease (PD).Dance is a safe, enjoyable form of physical activity for people with PD that creates opportunities for meaningful social engagement and artistic expression.The quality of the instructor-dancer relationship, the wider social environment, and the challenge-skill balance contribute to dancer experience.For a dance class for people with PD to be successful, it must be safe, socially accepting, and provide opportunities for dancers to experience positive growth and a sense of achievement.
