Abstract

Self-care is a basic human regulatory function which is essential to be performed by any individuals to sustain their lives, health, development, and well-being. As well as other individuals, the street children perform self-care for the same purpose. However, little was known about how they perform it, particularly the barriers which they might find to meet their self-care needs. This study was aimed to explore the barrier of self-care among street children living in Banda Aceh city. This descriptive phenomenological study involved eight street children of a punk community living in Banda Aceh. Data collected in this study was analyzed using Collaizi’s method. Two themes emerged as the results of the study: 1) negative perceptions of self, environment and society; and 2) paid health services and self-care facilities. These findings are expected to serve as the evidences for the stakeholders to develop a supporting program which facilitates the fulfillment of street children’s self-care needs, instead of merely focusing on the enforcement of public regulation or sharia law in Banda Aceh.
