Parkinson's disease is the second most common chronic exacerbation of neurodegenerative diseases after Alzheimer's disease. Various studies have been conducted on the factors that affect the quality of life of people with Parkinson's disease. Meanwhile, studies on the quality of life of Parkinson's patients in Indonesia are still scarce. Researchers are recommended to monitor the relationship between disease stage and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease and significantly improve neurological comprehensive outpatient care at Muhammadiyah University Malang Hospital (UMM Hospital). This study used a randomized controlled trial design. From February to March, thirty-seven patients who met the selection criteria were selected using a random sampling method. Post-hoc analysis showed that 13 respondents (35.1%) had a moderate quality of life, 12 respondents (32.4%) had a good quality of life, and one respondent (2.7%) had a moderate quality of life. Meanwhile, 8 participants (21.6%) were in the intermediate stage, 7 participants (18.9%) had a good quality of life, and 1 (2.7%) had a moderate quality of life. The significance value of the Chi-Square test and Kruskal Wallis surrogate test was 0.014 (α < 0.05). This study showed that Spearman's scale between disease stage and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease in the Neurology Clinic of UMM Hospital was 0.485 with a significant number (score) of 0.002. (0.002 < 0.05). In other words, there is a significant relationship between stage and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease and the relationship between disease stage and quality of life in patients with Parkinson's disease at the UMM Hospital was large, stron
