This descriptive observational study will involve dyads of Parkinson Disease patients and their caregivers. Participants will be recruited from the Parkinson's Disease and Movement Disorders Centre of ASST Gaetano Pini-CTO. Validated questionnaires, such as the WHOQOL-Bref, the Self-care of Chronic Illness Inventory version 2, and the Caregiver Self-efficacy in Contributing to Self-care Scale, will be administered. The study will also include semi-structured interviews to gather qualitative data on the patients' and caregivers' perceptions of self-care. A non-probabilistic convenience sampling method will be used, with the inclusion of both patients at any disease stage and their primary caregivers. The sample size will range 311 dyads with 5% margin of error.
