However, nurses and nursing students tend to focus more on the care of their patients and often pay little or no attention to personal self-care. Aim/objectives: This study was therefore carried out to assess the self care practices among nurses in a General Hospital in North-central Nigeria. Materials and methods: A descriptive research study design was adopted and a self-constructed questionnaire was used to collect data from a convenient sample of 111 nurses. Data was analyzed descriptively and inferentially, using Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) version 23. Results: Study participants are predominantly young females of the Yoruba ethnic extraction. The study shows that a relatively good level of physical self-care practice mainly in areas of diet, (fruits, fluid intake), exercise and good sleep; however,workload always or often hinders how well nurses are able to take care of themselves in about half of the nurses. Mental and spiritual self-care practices are found to have predominance of social, religious and spiritual activities, with slightly over half (50.9%) of them resorting more to prayers and meditations as forms of self-care. Conclusion: The study shows a positive self care practices in areas of physical, mental, and spiritual care practices, with a rather a more neutral social self-care. The religious/spiritual predominance of self-care practices may reflect some societal realities of Nigeria as a once acclaimed “most religious countries on earth.” More in-depth studies are needed, with larger samples in various settings, to properly situate the levels and varieties of nurses’ self-care in Nigeria.
