Proper self-care practice in people can reduce the pressure on the medical staff and save time and expenses for the patients. We assessed the quality of self-care education of healthcare worker from the viewpoint of patients who recovered from COVID-19.<br> <strong>Materials and Methods:</strong> This cross-sectional study was conducted by convenience sampling on 346 recovered patients from COVID-19 who referred to the clinics and hospitals of Babol University of Medical Sciences, Iran, in 2021. A valid and reliable researcher-made questionnaire evaluated the quality of self-care education provided by a healthcare worker to patients.
