Objective: In the context of the widespread prevalence of coronavirus, self-care behaviors play an important role in individual and public health, so it is important to identify its antecedents. Therefore, the present study aimed to evaluate the role of self-compassion, emotion regulation, and corona anxiety in predicting self-care behaviors of family members with Covid-19. Method: In the present cross-sectional study, a correlation design was used. The study population was family members of patients with Covid-19, and 235 people were selected by convenient methods. A self-report of 10 questions of self-care behaviors, Corona anxiety scale, emotion regulation scale, and self-compassion scale was used to collect data. Data analysis was performed using Pearson correlation and stepwise regression tests. Findings: The results showed that there is a positive and significant correlation between self-kindness (the first component of self-compassion) and psychological symptoms of corona anxiety with self-care behaviors, and there is a significant negative relationship between suppression emotion regulation strategy and self-care behaviors. But the two components of self-compassion, including common humanity, mindfulness, reappraisal emotion regulation strategy, and physical symptoms of corona anxiety don't have significantly associated with self-care behaviors. Also, self-kindness, psychological symptoms of corona anxiety, and emotion suppression strategy were predicting corona self-care behaviors. Conclusion: Therefore, in explaining the corona-virus-related self-care behaviors, paying attention to self-kindness, the psychological symptoms of coronary anxiety, and the emotion suppression strategy will help.
