The experience of living with Parkinson’s Disease (PD) is unique and complex for each person. Previous life experiences, personality types, values and beliefs, and coping skills are factors that influence PD management. A focus on everyday life and understanding the personal experiences of PD are essential factors to integrate the psychosocial and individual illness domains. To achieve a tangible impact on people with PD and increase the family’s autonomy and quality of life, it is important that health promotion strategies ensure equity, continuity, and transparency in policy and practice.

Implementation plans for innovation, personalized care, and inclusive care programs for PD require a complex system of support. It starts from involving people with PD and their families by establishing a dialogue between several sectors, agents, disciplines, and levels of care. Sustainable and integrated health-supporting environments are essential for people living with PD to ensure patients’ and families’ social inclusion and access to care.

The aim of this Special Issue is to bring together original research and review articles discussing integrated and personalized care for PD, and innovation from a health and social care perspective. We welcome theoretical, methodological, empirical, and implementation studies. Review articles can unfold emergent health and social care concepts. Moreover, they can discuss innovations in relation to PD management and interventions with clear implications for policy and practice development. Studies showing connections between PD and other long-term neurodegenerative conditions (e.g., dementia, Alzheimer's, and multiple sclerosis) are also highly encouraged. Finally, we are particularly interested in research using mixed methods, evaluating complex interventions, and presenting qualitative research with important conceptual leaps.

Potential topics include but are not limited to the following:

• Living with PD from the patient’s, patient’s children, spouses or carers’ perspective
• Impact of medical and surgical treatment of PD on psychosocial adjustment of patients
• Multi-agency support, infrastructure, and interprofessional perspectives on living with and managing everyday life with PD
• Development and validation of person-centred instruments for people with PD or family carers
• Health promotion strategies to reduce the impact of PD for patients, families, and carers
• Identifying person-centred and professional management strategies for fostering psychosocial adjustment to PD
• Integrated care models, digital tools, community resources or initiatives for better quality of life
• Access to health services, vulnerability/frailty in people with PD or vulnerability burden experienced by family/carers
• Interventions by allied health professionals that could have an impact on quality of life, wellbeing or PD management
