This presentation provides an in-depth exploration of Dorothea Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory, a grand theory of nursing that focuses on the individual's ability to perform self-care and the role of nursing when self-care is inadequate. The presentation begins with a biography of Dorothea Orem, detailing her educational background and career achievements, including the publication of her Self-Care Deficit Theory in 1971.
The theory is structured into three interrelated parts: the Theory of Self-Care, the Theory of Self-Care Deficit, and the Theory of Nursing Systems. Each part is discussed in detail, starting with the Theory of Self-Care, which defines self-care as activities initiated and performed by individuals to maintain life, health, and well-being. The presentation explains the concepts of self-care agency, therapeutic self-care demand, and self-care requisites, categorizing them into universal, developmental, and health deviation requisites.
The Theory of Self-Care Deficit is explored next, defining when nursing care is necessary, particularly when an individual or dependent cannot meet their self-care needs. The five methods of helping—acting for others, guiding others, supporting others, providing a conducive environment, and teaching others—are explained in the context of nursing practice.
Finally, the Theory of Nursing Systems describes how nursing interventions are classified into wholly compensatory, partly compensatory, and supportive-educative systems, depending on the patient's ability to perform self-care. The presentation discusses the major assumptions underlying Orem's theory, including the belief that people should be self-reliant and responsible for their care, and that nursing is an action-oriented interaction between individuals.
The application of Orem's theory in practice, education, and research is highlighted, showing how it guides nursing processes, differentiates nursing from medical care, and provides a foundation for nursing curricula and research. The presentation concludes with a critique of the theory, noting its simplicity, generality, and empirical precision, and its significance in shaping nursing practice and education.

Florence Nightingale: Early Life and Education
Overview of the Environmental Theory
Major Concepts of Environmental Theory
Nursing Nursing is different from medicine and the goal of nursing is to place the patient in the best possible condition for nature to act. Nursing is the "activities that promote health (as outlined in canons) which occur in any caregiving situation. They can be done by anyone."
Person People are multidimensional, composed of biological, psychological, social and spiritual components. The patient is the focus of the environmental theory. The nurse should perform the task for the patient and control the environment for easy recovery. She practices nurse-patient passive relationship.
Health Health is “not only to be well, but to be able to use well every power we have”. A healthy body can recuperate and undergo reparative process. Environmental control uplifts maintenance of health. Disease is considered as dys-ease or the absence of comfort.
Environment Poor or difficult environments led to poor health and disease. Environment could be altered to improve conditions so that the natural laws would allow healing to occur.
