What will be covered
Introduction to Dorothea Orem
Born in 1914 Baltimore, Maryland
Graduated from Providence Hospital School of Nursing
Developed Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory (SCDNT). in the 1950s
Published Nursing: Concepts of Practice (1971)
Introduction to the theory
Development
The self-care deficit theory was developed by Dorothea Orem in 20th century to defined the role of nursing in patient care (Orem & Taylor, 2003).
Focused of the theory
Emphasizes self-care as a critical component of health and well-being (Isik & Fredland, 2023)
Identifies when nursing intervention is required based on self-care deficit
Core ideas
Individuals are responsible for their own self-care.
When self-care demand exceeds a person’s ability, nurses provide assistance (Orem & Taylor, 2003)
Key assumptions and significance of the theory
Key assumptions
People should be responsible for their own health maintenance.
Nurses intervene when individuals cannot meet their self-care needs.
Significance
It guides nursing practice by defining the role of nurses in promoting patients’ independence.
Supports the development of patient-centered care models.
The classification of the theory
Grand theory
Justification
– It has broad scope that is applicable in various nursing settings
– It has abstract concepts that guides nursing practice and research.
– Covers the fundamental idea that individual have the ability and responsibility to manage their health (Rasyid et al., 2023).
Theoretic overview
Key components of Orem’s theory
Self-Care: Actions individuals take to maintain their own health.
Wholly Compensatory System: Nurse provides total care.
Partially Compensatory System: Nurse assists the patient.
Supportive-Educative System: Nurse supports and educates to promote self-care.
Self-Care Deficit: When individuals are unable to meet their own self-care needs.
Nursing Systems:
Continuation of theoretical overview
Explanation of the model
The model focuses on the relationship between self-care, self-care deficit and nursing interventions
Definition of major components
Self-care: actions and behaviours individuals engage in to maintain their well-being
Self-care agency: It the ability of an individual to engage in self-care behaviors. Involves knowledge, skills and motivation.
Self-care deficit: It occurs when an individual is unable to meet their own self-care needs.
Nursing agency: the ability of a nurse to you’re their professional knowledge, skills and expertise to assist individual meet their health needs
Application to Nursing Practice
Application in nursing practice
Assessment of self-care needs
– Identifying the ability of a patient to meet basic care needs
– Assess physical, psychological and social factors affecting self-care
– Determine self-care deficit that requires nursing interventions.
Development of individualized nursing care
– Tailored intervention based on the level of self-care needs.
– Provide education, support or direct as care needed.
Continuation of application of theory
Practical application of the theory
Professional example
– Used in rehabilitation centers to assist stroke patients in regaining self-care ability.
– Use in long-term care facilities to support elderly residents with hygiene and mobility.
Case study: Post operative patient example
– A patient undergoing abdominal pain and mobility limitations.
– Nurses evaluate self-care deficit (e.g. inability to bathe, dress or manage pain independently.
Contribution to Nursing knowledge
Provides a Structured Framework for Understanding Patient Needs.
It Guides nurses in identifying and categorizing self-care deficits.
Helps in systematically planning nursing interventions.
Enhances patient-centered care through individualized care planning.
Strengthening Theoretical Foundations in Nursing
It Supports nursing education by providing a clear model for self-care assessment.
It also encourages critical thinking and clinical decision-making.
Potential Areas of Future Research
Bridging theory and practice
It provides a theoretical foundation for nursing interventions.
It can ensure that care plans are based on systematic assessment and intervention.
Research-backed nursing interventions
Studies validating the effectiveness of self-care interventions.
Enhancing rehabilitation strategies for patients with self-care deficits.
Influence on Evidence-Based Practice (EBP)
Improving patient independence and Quality of Life
Evidence supports early intervention for self-care deficits
Customized nursing plans improve long-term self-care abilities
Case example: EBP in self-care deficit management
Rasyid et al. (2023) study on post-stroke rehabilitation showed improved recovery rates with structured self-care support.
Study by Mahmoud et al. (2023) also indicated that implementation of self-care training in nursing practice leads to reduced hospital readmissions.
Advantages and Limitations of using Orem’s theory
Advantages
Provides a clear guidelines for nursing interventions
Applicable in various health settings e.g. rehabilitation, acute care and long-term care.
Encourages patient independence
Advantages and Limitations of using Orem’s theory
Limitations
Limited focus on emotional and psychological aspects.
It assumes that all patients desires independence.
It requires high level of patient participation.
Its effectiveness depends on a patient’s willingness and ability to engage in self-care.
Summary of Key Points
Emphasis on self-care & Nursing role
Self-care is important for maintaining health and well-being.
The nurse’s role is to identify and address self-care deficits.
Structured & Practical Nursing Framework
Guides assessment, intervention, and patient education.
Applicable in diverse healthcare settings, from acute care to rehabilitation.
Influence of EBP & Research
Supports nursing interventions that enhance patient independence.
Provides a foundation for future research on self-care and chronic disease management
Final Thoughts: The Lasting Impact of Orem’s Theory in Nursing
An important framework for individualized patient care
Ensures care is tailored to each patient’s needs and capabilities.
Promote a holistic approach to improving patient outcomes.
Continued relevance in modern healthcare
Supports nursing education, practice and policy development
Encourages patient empowerment and long-term health management.
Final reflections
Orem’s theory of self-care deficit remains a cornerstone of nursing practice, guiding professionals in delivering compassionate, evidence-based and patient-centred care.
