Data were analyzed using the Pearson correlation coefficients, t-test, analysis of variance ANOVA, and Hierarchial stepwise multiple regression with the SPSS\/Windows version 25.0 program.Results: The greatest variables affecting the self-care for older adults living alone were compliance with COVID-19 quarantine rules (\u03b2=-.04, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;=.054), interactions with the neighborhood (\u03b2=-.06, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;=.029), economic status (\u03b2=.10, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;=.008), health conservation (\u03b2=.29, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;.001), psychological well-being (\u03b2=.18, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;=.008), and self-esteem (\u03b2=.35, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;.001). The explanatory power of these variables was 70.0% (F=18.45, &lt;i&gt;p&lt;\/i&gt;&lt;.001).Conclusion: Regarding the COVID-19 pandemic, these factors were highly mutually related to older adults living alone, so it is necessary for older adults living alone to actively participate in self-care programs using direct and indirect community resources.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.17079\/jkgn.2023.25.1.1","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,3,1]],"date-time":"2023-03-01T23:28:47Z","timestamp":1677713327000},"page":"1-10","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.17079\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":1,"title":["Influencing
