Our result showed the main score of self-care behavior was 33.41 (SD: 8.57). We found the correlation between sex, education, and cardiothoracic surgery with self-care behavior among the participants (P<0.05). Take medication as prescribed, and rest during the day were more self-care behavior adherence.
