There is extensive literature from various disciplines on , an important aspect of nursing intervention via evaluation and education, but its meaning remains unprecise due to the difficulty integrating the diverse definitions developed over time across disciplines. Therefore, it is vital to clarify the meaning of self-care and formulate the defining attributes, antecedents, and consequences to self-care.
Walker and Avant's concept analysis approach was used to analyze the concept of self-care. A search of the literature was completed using the databases CINAHL, PubMed, and EBSCOhost for years 1975-2020; literature search included peer-review articles, full-text publications, and available in English. A total of 31 articles were reviewed, and saturation was reached.
An extensive review of the literature revealed salient characteristics that reflected the most frequently used terms associated with the concept. Guided by Walker and Avant's method, three defining attributes emerged as common themes: awareness, self-control, and self-reliance.
A clarified definition was identified: the ability to care for oneself through awareness, self-control, and self-reliance in order to achieve, maintain, or promote optimal health and well-being.
关于自我护理，各学科有大量文献，它是护理干预通过评估和教育的一个重要方面，但由于难以整合不同学科随着时间发展形成的多样定义，其含义仍不精确。因此，明确自我护理的含义并阐述自我护理的定义属性、前提条件和结果至关重要。
采用沃克和阿万特的概念分析法分析自我护理概念。利用CINAHL、PubMed和EBSCOhost数据库检索1975年至2020年的文献；文献检索包括同行评议文章、全文出版物且为英文。共审查31篇文章，达到饱和状态。
对文献的广泛综述揭示了反映与该概念最常相关的显著特征。在沃克和阿万特方法的指导下，出现了三个作为共同主题的定义属性：意识、自我控制和自力更生。
确定了一个明确的定义：通过意识、自我控制和自力更生来照顾自己，以实现、维持或促进最佳健康和幸福的能力。
