abstract = {Background: Stigma is a relevant aspect of Parkinson's
disease (PD). Specific stigma tools are needed to address
the complex construct of stigma in PD
comprehensively.Objective: To test the dimensionality and
psychometric properties of the newly developed Parkinson's
Disease Stigma Questionnaire (PDStigmaQuest).Methods: In
this multi-center, cross-sectional study including PD
patients and healthy controls, the dimensionality of the
PDStigmaQuest was examined through exploratory factor
analysis. Acceptability and psychometric properties were
investigated. PDStigmaQuest scores of patients and healthy
controls were compared.Results: In total, 201 PD patients
and 101 healthy controls were included in the final
analysis. Results suggested high data quality of the
PDStigmaQuest $(0.0001\%$ missing data for patients). The
exploratory factor analysis produced four factors: felt
stigma, hiding, enacted stigma: rejection, and enacted
stigma: patronization, explaining $47.9\%$ of variance. An
optional work domain for employed patients was included.
Moderate floor effects and skewness, but no ceiling effects
were found. Cronbach's alpha of 0.85 indicated high internal
consistency. Calculated item-total correlations met standard
criteria. Test-retest reliability was high (rs = 0.83).
PDStigmaQuest scores correlated significantly with other
stigma measures (rs = 0.56-0.69) and were significantly
higher in patients than in healthy controls and higher in
patients with depressive symptoms than in those
without.Conclusions: The patient-reported 18-item
PDStigmaQuest showed strong psychometric properties of
validity and reliability. Our results suggest that the
PDStigmaQuest can be used to assess and evaluate stigma
comprehensively in PD, which will improve our understanding
of the construct of PD stigma.Keywords: Stigma; quality of
