title: [Cura sui--selfcare and its relationship to nursing].
abstract: Self care is an answer to the response of finiteness, which is given through the fact of the human body. The article demonstrates in reference to the Selfcaredeficit-Theory (Orem, 2006) how self care in everyday life, ancient roman called it cura sui, is related to nursing practice, specially to acutecare. Self care turns out as an category of ambivalence between ethics and power.
