    Uploaded by

    hawra alsaad
    Dorothea Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory focuses on the person as an agent and views humans as continually interacting with their environment. The theory consists of three nested concepts: the theory of self-care, theory of self-care deficit, and theory of nursing systems. Orem defines nursing as assisting individuals who cannot care for themselves due to disabilities or limitations. The theory views health as the ability to function and interact. Orem's theory is complex but has been widely used in nursing education and research to describe nursing practice.

    Human Needs

    Dorothea E. Orem: The Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory159


    Philosophical Underpinnings of the Theory

     its focus is on the person as agent.


     Orem’s SCDNT is the school of moderate realism.
     Currently, the theory is referred to as self-care science and nursing theory.
     Orem’s theory changed to fit the times most notably in the concept of the individual and of the
    nursing system. The original theory, however, remains largely intact.

    Major Assumptions, Concepts, and Relationships

     Orem delineates three nested theories:


     theories of self-care
     self-care deficit
     and nursing systems
     The theory of nursing systems is the outer or encompassing theory, which contains the theory of self-
    care deficit.
     The theory of self-care is a component of the theory of self-care deficit.

    Concepts

    Nursing: seen as an art which the nurses give specialized assistance to persons with disabilities to meet
    needs for self-care.

    The nurse also intelligently participates in the medical care.

    Humans: “men, women, and children cared for either singly or as social units,” and are the “material object”
    of nurses.

    Environment: physical, chemical, and biological features. It includes the family culture and community.

    Health: being structurally and functionally whole or sound.

    health is the ability to reflect on one’s self, to symbolize experience, and to communicate with others.

    Relationships

    humans engage in continuous communication and interchange among themselves and their environments to
    remain alive and to function.

    the power to act deliberately is exercised to identify needs and to make needed judgments.

    mature human beings experience privations in care of self and others involving making life-sustaining and
    function-regulating actions.
    Human exercised in discovering, developing, and transmitting to other ways and means to identify needs
    and make inputs to self and others.
    Usefulness

     Numerous colleges and schools of nursing base their curricula on the SCDNT.
     Hospitals in several areas of the country have based nursing care on Orem’s theory, and it has been
    applied to an ambulatory care setting.
     numerous publications define methods for using Orem’s SCDNT in practice, research, and education.

    Testability

     Many nursing researches studies have used Orem’s theory as a conceptual framework or as a source
    of testable hypotheses.
     Most research into the SCDNT is descriptive.

    Parsimony

    Orem’s SCDNT is complex.

    Value in Extending Nursing Science

     The SCDNT has been the basis for many college and university nursing curriculum.
     It has been used in practice situations and extensively in research projects.
     It is perceived as a realistic reflection of nursing practice.
