Abstract
Objective: To analyze the role of the nurse in the education and promotion of self-care in Parkinsonian elderly patients. Method: This is an integrative review study, carried out through a survey of data in the scientific bases: LILACS, SCIELO and MEDLINE. Results: Nine studies were selected for the research discussion. Discussion: Home health care is defined as providing services to patients at home. Care starts with the personal, initially through activities of daily living, such as personal hygiene, nutrition, exercise, clothing, as well as through guidelines for dressing and administering medications as needed. Care for the elderly is observed, carried out at home by relatives who normally do not receive the necessary training. Final Considerations: Nurses must implement a care system that describes all the necessary care procedures for patients, allow other team members to implement and monitor the patient's development and encourage self-care at each stage of the disease.
