Abstract

Objective: to map and analyze the scientific literature on nursing care aimed at people with Parkinson’s disease in Primary Health Care. Method: this is a scoping review using the Joanna Briggs Institute methodology, carried out between July and October 2020, and updated in November 2021 in six databases from nursing care and Parkinson’s disease descriptors, and their respective acronyms and synonyms in English, Portuguese and Spanish. Results: a total of 44 publications were included in this review, which identified as nursing care in Primary Care: assessment of motor and non-motor functions; management of activities of daily living and instrumental activities of daily living; disease self-management education for people with Parkinson’s and their care partners; supervised group approach; and personal factor management. Conclusion: Nursing care for people with Parkinson’s at the primary level essentially involves actions that include providing focused care at an individual and group level, encompassing clinical assessment, patient education, patient involvement in the social context of care, and developing positive relationships with family members and caregivers.
