Self-Care
Theory
Dorothea Elizabeth Orem (1914-2007)
• ONE OF FOREMOST NURSING THEORISTS
• Born 1914 in Baltimore, Maryland
•1939 - BSN, Catholic University of America
•1945 - MSN, Catholic University of America
• During her professional career, she worked as a staff
nurse, private duty nurse, nurse educator and administrator
and nurse consultant
• RECEIVED HONORARY DOCTOR OF SCIENCE
DEGREE IN 1976
• PUBLISHED FIRST FORMAL ARTICULATION OF
HER IDEAS IN NURSING: CONCEPTS OF PRACTICE
IN 1971, SECOND IN 1980, AND IN 1995.
• OREM DIED ON JUNE 22, 2007 AT 92
• "There are instances wherein patients are encouraged to bring
out the best in them despite being ill for a period of time. This
is very particular in rehabilitation settings, in which patients are
entitled to be more independent after being cared for by
physicians and nurses."
•It is considered a grand nursing theory, which means the
theory covers a broad scope with general concepts that can be
applied to all instances of nursing.
• Orem's theory defined NURSING as "The act of assisting others
in the provision and management of self-care to maintain or
improve human functioning at home level of effectiveness." It
focuses on each individual's ability to perform SELF- CARE,
defined as "the practice of activities that individuals initiate and
perform on their own behalf in maintaining life, health, and well-
being."
•Theory of self care
•Theory of self care deficit
•Theory of nursing system
•SELF CARE - practice of activities that individual initiates and perform on
their own behalf in maintaining life,health and well being
•SELF CARE AGENCY- is a human ability which is "the ability for
engaging in self care" -conditioned by age developmental state, life
experience sociocultural orientation health and available resources
•THERAPEUTIC SELF CARE DEMAND - "totality of self care actions to
be performed for some duration in order to meet self care requisites
• SELF CARE REQUISITES-action directed towards provision of self care
3 CATEGORIES OF SELF CARE THEORY

•Universal

•Developmental

•Health deviation
A. UNIVERSAL SELF CARE
REQUISITES
• Common to all, ADL (needs that all people have)
• Identifies these requisites as:
a) Maintenance of sufficient intake of air ,water, food
b) Provision of care assoc with elimination process
c) Balance between activity and rest, between solitude and social interaction
d) Prevention of hazards to human life well being and
e) Promotion of human functioning
B. DEVELOPMENTAL SELF CARE
REQUISITES
•Needs associated with developmental processes/ derived from a
condition.... Or associated with an event
•E.g. adjusting to a new job
• adjusting to body changes
C. HEALTH DEVIATION SELF CARE
REQUISITES
• Required in conditions of illness, injury, or disease. these include:
• Seeking and securing appropriate medical assistance
• Being aware of and attending to the effects and results of pathologic
conditions
• Effectively carrying out medically prescribed measures
• Learning to live with effects of pathologic conditions
A.Nursing agency
is a complex property or attribute of people educated and trained as nurses that
enables them to act, to know, and to help others meet their therapeutic self-care
demands by exercising or developing their own self- care agency.

B. Theory of self care deficit


• Specific when nursing is needed because the person cannot carry out self-care
activities
• Nursing is required when an adult (or in the case of a dependent, the parent)
is incapable or limited in the provision of continuous effective self care
Orem identifies 5 methods of helping:

1 Acting for and doing for others

Guiding others 2

3 Supporting another

Providing an environment promoting personal


development in relation to meet future 4
demands

5 Teaching another
C. Theory of Nursing Systems
• Describes how the patient's self care needs will be met by the nurse, the
patient, or both
• Identifies 3 classifications of nursing system to meet the self care requisite of
the patient:
a) Wholly compensatory system
b) Partly compensatory system
c) Supportive educative system
A. Wholly Compensatory System
•Patient is DEPENDENTY
• Nurses accomplish ALL the patient's therapeutic self-care
• Nurses compensate for the patient's inability to engage in self-care
• Example: care of a new born, care of client recovering from surgery in a post-
anesthesia care unit

Example: Wholly Compensatory


• The patient is unconscious because he had stroke (CVA). The nurse provides
total care for the patient- feeding, hygiene, turning, elimination, suctioning of
secretions to maintain effective respiration, promoting safety, providing
exercises of joints and body parts.
B. Partially Compensatory
• Patient can meet SOME needs
• Patient NEEDS NURSING assistance
• Both the nurse and the patient engage in meeting self-care needs.
• Example: Nurse can assist postoperative client to ambulate, Nurse can bring a
meal tray for client who can feed himself
Example: Partially Compensatory
•The patient had undergone appendectomy a day ago. He has a slight fever
(37.9C), still in pain & needs analgesic to relieve pain. He is advised to remain
in bed but may be out of bed this afternoon. He is still on NPO. The patient can
do self-care activities like changing position in bed, but needs nursing care for
relief of pain & fever, assistance for ambulation & hygienic measures.
C. Supportive Educative System
• Patient CAN MEET self-care requisites, but needs assistance with decision
making or knowledge and skills to learn self-care
• Example: Nurse guides a mother how to breastfeed her baby, Counseling a
psychiatric client on more adaptive coping strategies.

Example: Supportive-Educative
• The patient had been newly diagnosed to have diabetes mellitus. The patient
is capable of self-care but she needs self-care knowledge on how to live well
with diabetes- nutrition, activity/exercise, self- monitoring of blood glucose,
foot care, prevention of complications, medications.
Application of Orem's Theory
• It emphasizes the need to understand the importance of self- care in
promotion of health
• Focus on the patient's capacity to perform self-care activities
• It also becomes clear that nurses today should not move away education and
supportive measures HEALTH TEACHINGS.
