Background and Aim: One of the methods to prevent the spread of the COVID-19 virus is self-quarantine. Measuring people's attitudes and practices about it is important for the effectiveness of this method. This study aimed to determine the attitude and practice of Khark Islanders regarding self-quarantine during covid-19 pandemic in 2022.
Materials and methods: This descriptive cross-sectional study was conducted on native and surrounding residents of Khark Island in south of Iran. 370 subjects were selected with cluster sampling. A demographic and clinical questionnaire and a questionnaire regarding attitude and practice for self-quarantine were used for data collection. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and independent t-tests, analysis of variance, and multiple regression in SPSS26 software.  
 Results: Attitudes of 65.4% (242) of the subjects were negative, and the rest had a positive attitude. Also, the practice of most subjects (65.4%) was undesirable. There were significant differences between age, gender, education level, occupation, concerns about home quarantine, and sources of information with attitude and practice about self-quarantine (P<0.05). 
Conclusion: Self-quarantine during COVID-19 was a recommended way to reduce transmission and discontinuation of disease chain. Since attitudes and especially practices of individuals, in this case, is of great importance, appropriate and effective methods should be used to improve them in individuals.
