Abstract

Introduction: Self-care is defined as a set of self-dependent actions for the prevention and/or maintenance of a lifestyle that imply health promotion and delay the illness process. In the hospital environment, the nursing service is necessary to promote self-care, in view of an evaluative role in the ability to preserve and develop the individual's self-care. Objective: to identify the capacity for self-care of people hospitalized in a clinical sector.

Data will be collected through interviews, which will begin after filling out the Informed Consent Form and guided by the instruments: Form for characterization of participants and Revised Scale for Self-Care Agency Assessment (ASAS-R). Data will be analyzed considering descriptive statistics and exploratory statistical analyzes of the study variables.
