Results: The Self -Care Activities Screening Scale consists of 14 items and four dimensions. The fit indices were found to be satisfactory in the confirmatory factor analysis. The intraclass correlation coefficient of the test -retest reliability was 0.81 and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was 0.85.
