Abstract
Neglecting self-care has a significant impact on the student's low level in all academic, educational and cultural aspects. It is common in most school environments, as it has played a role in the emergence of some behaviors and habits that are believed to create indifference towards the educational process and failure to perform the tasks assigned to the students with the required efficiency and skill. The current research aims to identify self-care among preparatory school students, as well as to identify the statistically significant differences in self-care among these students according to the gender variable (males - females). Also, it aims to identify the statistically significant differences in self-care among preparatory school students according to the branch variable (scientific - literary). To achieve the research objectives, the researcher built a self-care scale. The validity and reliability of the scale were verified. The discriminatory power of the scale items was also calculated using the T-Test for two independent samples. The relationship between the score of each item and the total score of the scale was also extracted using Pearson's correlation coefficient. Thus, the scale in its final form consisted of (51) items. The reliability of the scale was calculated using the retest method and Cronbach's alpha. After the researcher completed the scale preparation procedures, she applied the scale to the research sample consisting of 300 male and female preparatory-graders for the academic year 2023-2024. They were selected using the stratified random method, and they represent (38.860%) of the study community. The data were processed statistically using the statistical package (Spss) and with the assistance of a statistical expert. The results of the current research showed the following: -
1.The research sample of preparatory school students enjoy a high level of self-care.
2.There are statistically significant differences according to the gender variable (males - females) among preparatory school students in self-care, and there are no statistically significant differences according to the academic branch variable (scientific - literary) among middle school students in self-care.
In light of the results reached, the researcher formulated a number of recommendations and proposals.
