Participant narratives from open discussion boards within a Caring Science, Mindful Practice Massive Open Online Course were analyzed to determine preferred self-care activities, and the degree to which course content supported the creation of self-care goals. Although the course explores different ways to apply Watson's Human Caring Theory, the data collected were focused on self-care activities reported by the course participants. Identifying preferred activities among participants may help facilitate self-care education for those interested in a Caring Science based approach to self-care. The focal points of the data were analyzed to assess whether participants focused on improving work-life or home-life.
