Self Care Deficit Nursing Theory (SCDNT) People in contemporary society want to be in control of their own lives There are universal self-care requisites- Can the patient provide their own self-care? People recover more quickly and holistically when providing own self-care Dorothea Orem’s Self Care Deficit Nursing Theory helps nurses to allow their patients in contemporary society to be more control of their own lives. The theory has several self-care requisites and the question that is often asked is can the patient provide their own self-care? Based on evidence, it is shown that people recover more quickly and holistically when providing their own self care. The purpose of this PowerPoint is to inform nurses on how this theory can be used for evidence based practice, define the four metaparadigm concepts according to this theory, and to describe how this theory can improves health care environments at different levels.
