OREMS THEORY OF SELF CARE DEFICIT

The self care deficit theory proposed by Orem is a combination of three

theories, i.e. theory of self care, theory of self care deficit and the theory of

nursing systems.

In the theory of self care, she explains self care as the activities carried out

by the individual to maintain their own health.

The self care agency is the acquired ability to perform the self care and this

will be affected by the basic conditioning factors such as age, gender, health

care system, family system etc.

Therapeutic self-care demand is the totality of the self care measures

required.

The self care is carried out to fulfill the self-care requisites.

There are mainly 3 types of self care requisites such as universal,

developmental and health deviation self care requisites.

Whenever there is an inadequacy of any of these self care requisite, the

person will be in need of self care or will have a deficit in self care.

The deficit is identified by the nurse through the thorough assessment of the

patient.

Once the need is identified, the nurse has to select required nursing systems

to provide care: wholly compensatory, partly compensatory or supportive andeducative system.

The care will be provided according to the degree of deficit the patient is

presenting with.

Once the care is provided, the nursing activities and the use of the nursing

systems are to be evaluated to get an idea about whether the mutually

planned goals are met or not.

4/23

Thus the theory could be successfully applied into the nursing practice.

For Mrs. X.

She came to the hospital with complaints of pain over all the joints, stiffness

which is more in the morning and reduces by the activities.

She has these complaints since 5 years and has taken treatment from local

hospital.

The symptoms were not reducing and came to --MC, Hospital for further

management.

Patient was able to do the ADL by herself but the way she performed and the

posture she used was making her prone to develop the complications of the

disease.

She also was malnourished and was not having awareness about the

deficiencies and effects.

APPLYING THE OREMS THEORY OF SELF-CARE DEFICIT, A NURSING CARE

PLAN FOR MRS. X COULD BE PREPARED AS FOLLOWS

A. THERAPEUTIC SELF CARE DEMAND: DEFICIENT AREA: FOOD

ADEQUACY OF SELF CARE AGENCY: INADEQUATE

NURSING DIAGNOSIS

Inability to maintain the ideal nutrition related to inadequate intake andknowledge deficit

OUTCOMES AND PLAN

a. Outcome:

Improved nutrition

Maintenance of a balanced diet with adequate iron supplementation.

b. Nursing Goals and objectives

Goal: to achieve optimal levels of nutrition.

Objectives: Mrs. X will:

state the importance of maintaining a balanced diet.


10/23

List the food items rich in iron , that are available in the locality.

c. Design of the nursing system:

supportive educative

d. Method of helping:

guidance

support

Teaching

Providing developmental environment

IMPLEMENTATION

Mutually planned and identified the objectives and the patient were made to

understand about the required changes in the behaviour to have the

requisites met.

EVALUATION

Mrs. X understood the importance of maintaining an optimum nutrition.

She told that she will select the iron rich diet for her food.

She listed the foods that are rich in iron and that are locally available.

The self care deficit in terms of food will be decreased with the initiation of

the nutritional intake.

The supportive educative system was useful for Mrs. X


11/23

----------------------------------------------------------------------

B. THERAPEUTIC SELF CARE DEMAND: DEFICIENT AREA: ACTIVITY


NURSING DIAGNOSIS

Self-care deficit: dressing, toileting related to restricted joint movement,

secondary to the inflammatory process in the joints.

OUTCOMES AND PLAN

a. Outcome:

improved self-care

maintain the ability to perform the toileting and dressing with modification as

required.


Goal: to achieve optimal levels of ability for self care.


perform the dressing activities within limitations

utilize the alternative measures available for improving the toileting


12/23

perform the other activities of daily living with minimal assistance.

c. Design of the nursing system: Partly compensatory

d. Method of helping:

1. Guidance:

Assess the various hindering factors for self care and how to tackle them.

2. Support:

Provide all the articles needed for self care, near to the patient and ask the

family members also to give the articles near to her.

Provide passive exercises and make to perform active exercises so as to

promote the mobility of the joint.

Make the patient use commodes or stools to perform toileting and insist on

avoidance of squatting position

Provide assistance whenever needed for the self care activities

Provide encouragement and positive reinforcement for minor improvement in

the activity level.

Initiate the pain relieving measures always before the patient go for any of

the activities of daily living

Make the patient to use loose fitting clothes which will be easy to wear and

remove.

3. Teaching:

Teach the family members the limitation in the activity level the patient has


13/23

and the cooperation required

4. Promoting a developmental environment:

Teach the family and help them to practice how to help the patient according

to her needs

IMPLEMENTATION

Mutually planned and identified the objectives and the patient was made to

understand about the required changes in the behaviour to have the

requisites met.

EVALUATION

Patient was performing some of the activities and she practiced toileting

using a commode in the hospital.

She verbalized an improved comfort and self care ability.

She performed the dressing activities with minimal assistance

Patient verbalized that she will perform the activities as instructed to get her

ADL done.

The partly compensatory system was useful for Mrs. X

----------------------------------------------------------------------

C. THERAPEUTIC SELF CARE DEMAND: DEFICIENT AREA: PAIN CONTROL


14/23


NURSING DIAGNOSIS

Ineffective pain control related to lack of utilization of pain relief measures

OUTCOMES AND PLAN

a. Outcome:

improved pain self control

achieve and maintain a reduction in the pain.


Goal: to achieve reduction in the pain.


describe the total plan of pharmacological and non pharmacological pain

relief

demonstrate a reduction in the pain behaviours

verbalize a reduction in the pain scale score from 7 4

c. Design of the nursing system: supportive educative

d. method of helping:


15/23

Guidance:

Explore the past experience of pain and methods used to manage them.

Ask the client to report the intensity, location, severity, associated and

aggravating factors.

Support:

Provide rest to the joints and avoid excessive manipulations

provide hot and cold application to have better mobility.

Encourage exercises to the joints by immersing in the warm water.

Administer T. Ultracet and Tab Diclofecac as prescribed. Provide diversion and psychological support to the patient

Teaching:

Teach the non pharmacological method to the patient once the pain is a

little reduced.

Providing the developmental environment:

Discuss with the patient the necessity to maintain a pain diary with all

information regarding episodes of pain and refer to that periodically

Enquire from the health team, the need for opioid analgesics or other

analgesics and get a prescription for the patient.

IMPLEMENTATION


16/23

---------------------------------------

---------------------------------------

EVALUATION

Patient still has pain over the joints and she agreed that she will use the

measures for pain relief that is told to her.

The pain scale score was 6 after the measures were provided to the patient.

She demonstrated slight reduction in the pain behaviours.


--------------------------------------------------------------

D. THERAPEUTIC SELF CARE DEMAND: DEFICIENT AREA: PREVENTION OF

HAZARDS.


NURSING DIAGNOSIS

The theory of self-care deficit when applied could identify the self care requisites of

Mrs. X from various aspects. This was helpful to provide care in a comprehensive

manner. Patient was very cooperative. the application of this theory revealed how well

the supportive and educative and partly compensatory system could be used for

solving the problems in a patient with rheumatoid arthritis.
