MATERIALS AND METHODS: The present study is a descriptive study that was performed on 502 women referring to selected comprehensive health service centers in Isfahan (Nawab, Motahhari, Ibn Sina, 25 Dastgerd) in 2021. Women aged 18 to 45 years referring to the above centers who met the inclusion criteria completed women’s empowerment, self-belief, and self-care questionnaires. The collected data were analyzed by SPSS software version 22 and the Spearman test. RESULTS: The results of data analysis with the Spearman test showed that there is a significant negative relationship between the variable of Fatalism and self-care behaviors.
