Abstract
Self-care has been extensively investigated from the Orem Self-Care Deficit Theory, which has its beginnings in the field of nursing where most of the research that emphasizes the physical-biological component of self-care is concentrated. From the perspective of Health Psychology, we advocate a biopsychosocial perspective in the analysis of this category that points to a comprehensive care of the human being, one that is aimed at promoting the self-responsibility of people in self-care, as a resource to raise their quality of life and well-being. The work presents a theoretical review of the concept and the models on which self-care has been studied from its origins to the most contemporary conceptions. It concludes with the definition of the authors and a proposal for a methodological approach for selfcare research.
