Jubilado was not being rude to you, nor was he trying to humiliate you, but you are making rude statements. - rac1, Mar 7, 2016

Answer 1

Go to the Wikipedia article:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self_care

Switch language to Spanish:

https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Autocuidado

This entry provides two possibilities, but consistently uses autocuidado:

En la asistencia sanitaria, el autocuidado o cuidado personal es cualquier acción reguladora del funcionamiento del ser humano que se encuentra bajo el control del propio individuo, realizada de forma deliberada y por iniciativa propia.

This is not a term I am personally familiar with so cannot attest to how common it is.
