This study used a cross-sectional design and included 965 elderly individuals who met the inclusion criteria. There was a positive correlation between perceived social support and self-care agency and a negative correlation between perceived social support and loneliness in elderly muslim individuals (p < 0.05). It is recommended that psychiatric nurses should activate the social support mechanisms of elderly individuals, and necessary follow-ups to increase self-care agencies must be conducted.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessPerceived social supportSelf-care agencyLonelinessElderly muslim peopleArticle612150515133437925710.1007/s10943-021-01377-52-s2.0-85112278684Q1WOS:000684059500001Q3
