A. Yes, the research title does ask a basic question about the research.

It investigates whether
parental reading socialization and early school involvement have an impact on children's academic
performance. The title is clear in its intention to study the effects of these two factors on academic
performance, using primary school pupils in the Netherlands as the study group.

B. Let's break down the introduction:

1. The problem: Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative pathology that
is increasingly prevalent, especially among the elderly population. It brings about disabling symptoms
that challenge care professionals. The significance of Traditional Filipino Arts (TFA) as a therapeutic
recreation for elderly individuals with PD is not well understood.

2. Why it is a problem: PD is the 3rd most common neurologic disorder among elders and its
prevalence is rising. Despite pharmacologic therapy being the mainstay of intervention, it doesn't fully
address the associated disabling symptoms. The potential of non-pharmacological therapies like TFA
is not fully explored or understood.

3. How it should be solved: The study suggests that understanding the lived experience of an elderly
individual with PD who is learning TFA can provide insight into the potential therapeutic effects of
TFA.

4. Why it should be solved: By understanding the therapeutic effect of TFA, healthcare delivery to
older adults with PD could be improved. It could provide an adjunct management strategy to
pharmacologic therapy, potentially helping to address the disabling symptoms of PD.

5. Why it should be solved: The same reason as above, it's important to explore all potential therapies
that could improve the quality of life for those suffering from PD, especially as the elderly population
grows.

6. The purpose of the study: The study aims to gain insight into the experience of an elderly individual
with PD in learning TFA. It's exploring the therapeutic effect of TFA in elderly individuals with PD,
which to the best of the researchers' knowledge, hasn't been done before. This could help improve
healthcare delivery to older adults with PD.

The problem: The problem is the rise in prevalence of Parkinson's Disease (PD), particularly among
the elderly population, and the associated disabling symptoms that are not fully addressed by
pharmacological therapies alone.

Why it is a problem: It's a problem because PD is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative disease

that significantly impacts the quality of life of those affected. As the elderly population grows, the
number of people suffering from PD increases, posing a challenge to care professionals.

How it should be solved: The introduction suggests that the problem could be addressed by exploring
non-pharmacological therapies, specifically the use of Traditional Filipino Arts (TFA) as a form of
therapeutic recreation for elderly individuals with PD.

Why it should be solved: It should be solved to improve the quality of life for individuals with PD, to
provide more comprehensive and effective care strategies, and to address the growing challenge PD
poses to healthcare professionals.

What is the purpose of the study: The purpose of the study is to gain insight into the experience of an
elderly individual with PD in learning TFA, and to explore the therapeutic effect of TFA in elderly
individuals with PD. This knowledge could potentially improve healthcare delivery to older adults with
PD.
B.Read the introduction then answer the questions that follow.

Parkinson's Disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive, neurodegenerative pathology (Zhao, Tan, Lau, Au, Li
and Luo, 2008; Damiano, Snyder, Strausser and William, 1999; Kluding and McGinnis, 2006; Michell,
Lewis, Foltynie, Barker, 2004; Montel, 2009) which is characterized by rigidity, tremors and
bradykinesia (Damiano et. al. 1999: Michell et. al, 2004). PD is the 3rd most common neurologic
disorder among elders (Ignatavicius and Workman, 2006). Approximately 317, 065 of the 86 million
population of the Philippines suffer from Parkinson's Disease (US Census Bureau International
Database, 2004). As the elderly population grows, PD continues to be a challenge confronting care
professionals (Fisher, 1999).

Due to rise of the prevalence of PD, there had been several studies conducted focusing on the
pharmacologic, surgical and genetic interventions. Although pharmacologic therapy is the mainstay of
intervention for the condition, the value of non-pharmacological therapies as adjunct management is
accentuated to address the associated disabling symptoms (Cage and Storey, 2004).

Recreational activities may come in the form of traditional arts Traditional arts is defined as "arts that
have been practised for at least three generations, including art forms from precolonial and colonial
periods, actively practised by artists and craftsmen in the country, and passed on to other
practitioners" (Respicio 2007 cited by Loza de Guzman and Jose, 2008). Traditional Filipino Arts (TFA)
make use of indigenous art materials, which according to Loza et, ar. (2008), are given little
attention for possible rediscovery and utilization. Little is known about the significance of TFA as a
therapeutic recreation for elderly individuals.

In the effort of understanding the lived experience of an elderly individual with PD, this study aims to
gain insight into her experience in learning TFA. To the best of our knowledge, this is the first study
that specifically explored the therapeutic effect of TFA in elderly individuals with PD. Furthermore, to
improve health care delivery to older adults with PD, it is important for the nurse to understand the
patient's experience of the said intervention.
