Aim: The aim of research was to describe self-care changes in two patients with Parkinson's disease (PD) who were living in the home environment.

Methods: For the method of data collection was used semi-structured interviews, structured observation, medical record's analysis and chosen measuring tools. The main source of information was two patients diagnosed for PD. The secondarily source of information was the family relatives and the medical records.

Results: Principally in relation with primary symptoms (with motor impairments) of Parkinson's disease were identified patient's problems in areas activities of daily living (ADL) and instrumental activities of daily living (IADL).

Conclusion: Patients from initial stages of Parkinson's disease are confronted with reduction of functional status with partial loss of self-sufficiency in realization ADL and IADL. Nursing care must be oriented at maintaining the maximum extent of self-sufficiency already in the early stages of Parkinson's disease.

Keywords: self-care, ADL, IADL, Parkinson's disease, case study
