Objective: The aim of the study was to analyze practices of Moldovan neurologists regarding themanagement of Parkinson’s disease patients. Background: Parkinson’s disease management depends a lot on the doctor’s approach and the socio-familialenvironment. Method: An observational KAP (knowledge, attitudes and practices) study was conducted, whereneurologists completed a questionnaire of 34 questions, for 15 minutes. The results were statisticallyanalyzed. Results: Study sample consisted of 45 neurologists; 68.9% respondents were women, and 84.4% – fromurban areas. Regarding the initiation of levodopa treatment, 30.4% of the neurologists believe that it shouldbe postponed as much as possible, even if the patient’s functionality is affected, because levodopaaccelerates the disease evolution (2.2%), creates addiction (17.8%) or can be harmful (11.1%), which showsnegative approach practices. Only 15.6% of respondents establish the diagnosis on their own, 15.6% –initiates and continues the treatment on their own, 71.1% of respondents establish a presumptive diagnosisand refer the patient to a tertiary institution for confi rmation. In the treatment process of the Parkinson’sdisease patient, 48.9% initiate treatment and direct the patient to a tertiary institution, then they monitorthe treatment indicated by the tertiary institution. Conclusion: According to this study, Moldovan neurologists, approach both negative and positive practicesregarding the management of Parkinson’s disease patients. Knowledge of the patient’s needs,multidisciplinary approach and targeting to a tertiary institution could improve the management ofParkinson’s disease patients in the Republic of Moldova, and, respectively, their quality of life.
