Orem’s Definition of Orem’s Definition of NursingNursing
Nursing is the provision of self-care which is therapeutic in sustaining life and health, in recovering from disease or injury, or coping with their effects.
Nursing is a service to people, not a derivative of medicine.
Nursing promotes the goal of patient self-care.

Orem’s Nursing ProcessOrem’s Nursing Process
Consists of 3 steps:Step 1: determine why a patient needs careStep 2: design a nursing system & plan the
delivery of careStep 3: management of nursing systems -
planning, initiating, & controlling nursing actions

Orem’s General Theory of Orem’s General Theory of NursingNursing
Consists of three related theories collectively referred to as “Orem’s General Theory of Nursing”:
1. Self-care Theory: 3 types of self-care requisites (needs) or categories
2. Self-care Deficit Theory: 5 Methods of Assistance
3. Nursing Systems Theory

Self-care DefinitionSelf-care Definition
Self-care comprises those activities performed independently by an individual to promote and maintain personal well-being throughout life.

Orem’s Self-care AgencyOrem’s Self-care Agency
Definition: the individual’s ability to perform self-care activities
Consists of TWO agents:– Self-care Agent - person who provides the self-
care– Dependent Care Agent - person other than the
individual who provides the care (such as a parent)
![Page 10: Dorothea Orem Nursing Theory. Dorothea Orem Early 1930’s - AD from Providence School of Nursing, Washington, D.C. 1939 – BSN completed 1945 - MS in nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012918/551bf135550346c3588b65c3/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Orem’s Self-care Requisites Orem’s Self-care Requisites (also (also called Self-care Needs)called Self-care Needs)
Definition: the actions or measures used to provide self-care
Consists of THREE categories:– Universal - requisites/needs that are common to all
individuals– Developmental - needs resulting from maturation or
develop due to a condition or event– Health Deviation - needs resulting from illness,
injury & disease or its treatment

Orem’s Self-care Deficit Orem’s Self-care Deficit TheoryTheory
Is the central focus of Orem’s Grand Theory of Nursing Explains when nursing is needed Describes and explains how people can be helped
through nursing Results when the Self-care Agency (patient) can’t meet
her/his self-care needs or administer self-care Nursing meets these self-care needs through five
methods of help

Orem’s Nursing Systems Orem’s Nursing Systems TheoryTheory
Refers to a series of actions a nurse takes to meet a patient’s self-care needs
Is determined by the patient’s self-care needsIs composed of THREE systems:
– Wholly compensatory– Partly compensatory– Supportive-educative
![Page 15: Dorothea Orem Nursing Theory. Dorothea Orem Early 1930’s - AD from Providence School of Nursing, Washington, D.C. 1939 – BSN completed 1945 - MS in nursing.](https://reader030.fdocuments.in/reader030/viewer/2022012918/551bf135550346c3588b65c3/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Three Nursing SystemsThree Nursing Systems
Wholly Compensatory: a patient’s self-care agency is so limited that s/he depends on others for well-being
Partly Compensatory: a pt can meet some self-care requisites but needs a nurse to help meet others
Supportive-educative: a pt can meet self-care requisites but needs help in decision-making, behavior control, or knowledge acquisition

Components of Components of NURSINGNURSING
NURSING ART: the theoretical base of nursing and other disciplines such as sciences, art, humanities
NURSING PRUDENCE: the quality that enables the nurse to seek advice in new or difficult situations, to make correct judgements, to decide to act in a particular manner, and/or to act

ROLE THEORY: the role of the nurse & patient are complementary as they work together to achieve self-care
SPECIAL TECHNOLOGIES:– Social & Interpersonal technologies -
communicating, coordinating, establishing & maintaining therapeutic relations, rendering assistance
– Regulatory technologies - maintaining and promoting life processes, growth/development, and psycho-physiologic modes of functioning
