abstract = {Parkinson's disease (PD) is associated with psychosocial
distress that affects patients' quality of life. The
distress thermometer (DT) is an 11-point visual analogue
scale that is used as a screening tool for the assessment of
psychosocial distress, originally developed for oncological
diseases.To validate the DT for PD and to explore
contributing factors.The DT scale was administered to 105
people with Parkinson's Disease (PwPD). Along with it, we
assessed motor symptoms (Unified Parkinson's Disease Rating
Scale part III [UPDRS III], Hoehn and Yahr-stage $[H\&Y]),$
non-motor symptoms (Non-motor Symptom Questionnaire [NMSQ]),
anxiety and depression (Hospital Anxiety and Depression
Scale [HADS], Fear of Progression-Questionnaire Short Form
[FOP-Q-SF], Generalized Anxiety Disorder Scale-7 [GAD-7],
9-question Patient Health Questionnaire [PHQ-9]), the
feeling of hope (Herth Hope Index [HHI]) and quality of life
(Schedule for the Evaluation of Individual Quality of Life
[SEIQoL]).With a cut-off of 4, the DT identified PwPD with
distress with a sensitivity of $97\%$ and a specificity of
$38\%.$ With this cut-off, the DT will yield false negative
results in 1 out of 100 cases. Factor analyses and a random
forest regression of the dataset revealed that distress can
be predicted by two factors, which we termed 'anxiety' and
'depression/resilience/motor symptoms'.The DT is an
ultra-short and reliable screening tool for distress in
PwPD. DT values below 4 rule out distress with a high degree
of certainty. Anxiety and depression are important factors
in distress but are counterbalanced by the individuals'
psychological resilience.},
