A Concept Analysis of Self-Care Based on Islamic Sources

Abstract

Purpose

This article describes the concept of self-care from Islamic texts.

Method

Rodgers' evolutionary model of concept analysis was used in this study.

Findings

Self-care is a series of responsible activities to God for health promotion, preventive disease and remedy. It encompasses physical, mental, spiritual, and social dimensions.

Conclusion

A comprehensive definition of the concept of self-care ensued from a review of Islamic literature.

Implications for Nursing Practice

Since the nurses instruct and assist individuals as they engage in self-care, using a comprehensive definition of self-care based on Islamic sources would provide an anchor linking for them as they interact with Muslim patients.
