(2019) and the rescue cognitive abilities questionnaire (2012) and to analyze the data, Pearson correlation coefficient and regression analysis were used.
The results showed that self-care components can explain 24.3% of the variance of cognitive ability. Physical self-care (β=0.197) has the largest share in predicting the cognitive ability of the elderly, followed by social self-care (β=-0.189), spiritual self-care coefficient (β=-0.162) and self-care in During illness (β = 0.122) (P < 0.001)
