Dissertation note: Undergraduate Thesis (BHS) - Human Services Camarines Sur Polytechnic Colleges, 2025 Abstract: Self-care is a crucial component of maintaining overall well-being. This study aimed to investigate the self-care practices employed by Bachelor in Human Services (BHumServ) students to support their health and well-being and the challenges they face in adopting healthy behaviors across six domains of self-care. A total of 166 respondents participated in the study, which utilized a descriptive quantitative method. The findings revealed that the majority of respondents were female, aged 18-20 years, in their first year, and came from families with a monthly income of less than 9,100 pesos. In terms of self-care practices, respondents reported moderate engagement in activities across various domains, including mindful relaxation, physical care, self-compassion and purpose, supportive relationships, supportive structure, and mindful awareness. Specific self-care activities included listening to music, maintaining personal hygiene, practicing self-love and kindness, spending quality time with family and friends, creating comforting environments, and observing nature. Despite their engagement in self-care practices, respondents encountered below-average challenges within the same domains. These challenges included overthinking, fear of emotional vulnerability, self-doubt, reluctance to share thoughts and feelings, concerns about severing relationships, and difficulties with concentration. Overall, the study found that while BHumServ students actively engage in self-care practices, they also face significant challenges that could hinder their well-being and health. Therefore, implementing self-care interventions in educational settings is essential to equip students with the strategies to navigate these challenges and enhance their overall self-care.
