Description The study maps young adults' perspectives on self- care, with an emphasis on gender differences and motivational factors. The quantitative exploratory research design utilized the Self-Care Activities Screening Scale (SASS- 14), Self-Care Inventory (SCI), and a self-constructed questionnaire that explored the meaning and motivational factors of self-care. The study population consisted of 292 respondents (F = 180, M = 112) aged 20 to 30 years (o 23.7). The research results suggest that young adults practice self-care sporadically, indicating a need for increased awareness and education in this area. Data analysis also revealed some interesting findings regarding motivations and perceptions of self-care in terms of gender differences, such as that men may be more influenced by social role models and norms, whereas women are more motivated by personal health goals. The study provided important insights into young adults' attitudes toward self-care that can serve as a basis for further research on self-care and contribute to the development of preventive health policies targeting the young population.
