From the Paper
"Dorothea Orem, first published in 1971, developed her nursing theory independent of the medical model focusing on the autonomy of nursing practice and provided a link of relevant nursing knowledge to the requisites of clients needing health-related care (Koenig Blais, Hayes, Kozier, & Erb, 2002, chap. 6). The self-care deficit theory "expresses and develops the reasons why persons require nursing care" (Dennis, 1997, p. 11). The core of this theory and the first of the three theory components is self-care/dependent care. Her self-care theory focused on the recipient of nursing care versus the nurse provider. Self-care encompasses learned activities natural to all adults as they respond to internal and external (environment) input. Dependent care is actions the individual performs on behalf of children or adults due to health deviations or developmental age (Dennis, 1997, chap. 2). "

Abstract
This paper takes a look at the work of Dorothea Orem and Imogene King in the world of nursing. According to the paper, both Orem and King have contributed considerably to the development of nursing science and conceptual theory. The paper goes on to review and discuss Orem and King's theories.
From the Paper
"As far as nursing is concerned, both of these individuals see the importance of nursing as a helping and supportive field. Orem's emphasis is on art and technology to help someone care for him/herself, whereas King's is on meeting a social need and both individuals and groups who require healthcare. The emphasis on Orem's approach in on the patient doing as much as possible for him/herself; King's is on the interrelationship between the nurse and the patient. Orem's stress is on the immediate need of care and King is on a longer timetable of care from birth to illness to care of the dying in social settings."

Abstract
This research examines the life, work and legacy of Dorothea Elizabeth Orem, a nursing theorist whose ideas emerged in the 1950s, exerting a great deal of influence on nursing education and practice. This paper analyzes Orem's theory, also known as the self-care deficit theory of nursing (SCDT).
From the Paper
"Based on the assessment, the nurse may provide different degrees of "compensation" for the individual patient?s "deficits" or relative inability to care for himself/herself(Orem, 1985). The theory is consistent with notions of wellness, preventive intervention, and patient empowerment that have been observed to foster recovery in a variety of venues and with a variety of illnesses (Shea, 1992; Neergaard, 1990)."

From the Paper
"Clinical nursing practice should be guided by nursing theory. Patient care situations need to be viewed within the context of theoretical frameworks. There are different ways of evaluating such frameworks. For example, historicists typically base hypotheses on important past events. In contrast, the theoretical sciences are mainly interested in finding and testing universal laws. Dorothea Orem's general theory of nursing defines the need for nursing care. In contrast, Gerald Caplan's theory of crisis intervention describes a rationale for dealing with certain psychiatric patients. Together, these two theories may help define the interaction between nurses and their..."

Abstract
This paper is an analysis of Dorothea Orem's method of nursing. She introduced the concept that nurses, as human beings, need to be allowed to treat patients according to their individual needs. The author examines this theory, and presents several examples where it has been applied successfully.
From the Paper
"Nursing isn?t only about ?doing for the patient,? but about assisting them and directing them to carry out their own self-care and self-directed life. ?A patient competent to live in the real world is competent not only to obtain and participate health care, but to do as much of it as would be done outside the institutional setting normally.? (Coleman, pp. 325-344, 1980) Self-care then, is especially important in any field of nursing because health care is more about taking care of the body outside of the institution rather than in it."

Abstract
The paper provides a brief overview of the self-care deficit theory based on Dorothea Orem's use of the four meta-paradigmatic concepts. The paper demonstrates how a client, Mrs. S., has specific health-care deficits along with strengths and also looks at any areas in which the theory is not effective. The paper explains Orem's theory that a client's health is affected by a number of contributing personal factors and various factors that are found in the environment and maintaining and restoring health depends on whether the client can effectively cope with these factors and self-care requisites.
Outline:
Introduction
Overview of Self-care Deficit Theory
Self-care Theory Applied to Mrs. S
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Orem's theory of self-care is based in her concept of the human being. The person is a biopsychosocial self-care being who is capable of self-care. This is a holistic view involving multiple domains of the person. The goal of nursing is to assist and support the client with the need for self-care and to promote health. This goal is achieved by nurses who use the nursing process to develop a plan of care for the client. The environment contains internal and external stimuli with which the client interacts, and such interaction is crucial because the environment contains resources which contribute to self-care (Sousa & Zauszniewski, 2006)."

Abstract
This paper defines and discusses Orem's model of self-care in nursing. The paper identifies the issues related to increased autonomy for patients in respect to identifying and promoting their own health care needs, while also also ensuring that the patient receives care from health care professionals, family and friends when needed. The paper analyzes current research on this topic.
Table of Contents:
Introduction
Summarization of Literature
Positive Factors Relating to Nursing Practice
Negative Factors Relating to Nursing Practice
Personal Perspectives towards Orem's Model of Self-Care and Long-Term Nursing Care
Conclusion
From the Paper
"Orem's model of self-care promotes specific health goals that increase the autonomy and the self-care of the patient. Not all patients can benefit from all aspects of this model, but most patients are likely to achieve a greater degree of control over how and to what extent their health care needs are met. The model shows substantial positive outcomes as a component of health care, as it promotes improved diagnosis, improved communication between the health care provider and the patient, and reliance on others to supplement the patient's health care needs when specific outcomes cannot be met by the patient alone."

Orem Nursing Model, 2004.
An analysis of Orem's model of self-care and contemporary nursing.

Abstract
This paper examines Orem's self-care model, a professional nursing practice model. The paper explains that, according to this model, the patient's self-care deficits are the result of environmental situations. The paper evaluates the three systems that exist within this professional nursing practice model: the compensatory system, in which the nurse provides total care; the partially compensatory system, in which the nurse and patient share responsibility for care; and the educative-development system, in which the client has primary responsibility for personal health, with nurse acting as a consultant.
From the Paper
"Orem's self-care model of modern nursing was first developed to address the basic care needs of individuals who were unable to perform the basic functions of self care as they were accustomed to, such as soldiers returning from wartime. However, this nursing model continues to be highly useful to nursing practitioners today. This is especially true given the increasing dependence of elderly patients upon family support systems for basic care, as well as the need for families to deal with individuals in a state of crisis within the family structure. The essential features of the model are addressing the self-care needs of the patient by the nurse through assessment and facilitation. The model deals with the responsibilities of the nurse practitioner to the patient in assessing the patient's ability to care for him or herself on a daily basis, how this care can be improved, and providing essential aid to individuals who cannot perform basic functions of self-care."

Self-Care Deficit Theory, 2006.
An overview of Dorothea Orem's self-care deficit theory.

»
Click here to show/hide summary
Abstract
This paper examines Dorothea Orem's self-care deficit theory, focusing primarily on the concepts of health and nursing espoused by the theory, as well as on how the theory is best evaluated.
From the Paper
"Orem's self-care deficit theory is based in her view of the person and their varying abilities in regard to self-care. Orem's theory provides explanations for how and why people care for themselves or for other people who are dependent on them (Dennis, 1997). Self-care deficit theory actually is made up of three linked theories: self-care, self-care deficit, and nursing systems."

Abstract
This paper focuses on an explanation of DSCR, its place in Orem?s theory of ?Self-Care Deficit?, and its application in nursing practice. It begins by discussing the stages of development of the theory and then looks at the factors involved in determining whether a patient requires nursing care. The writer then discusses how DSCR can be applied and its goals in the nursing field.
From the Paper
"Developmental Self Care Requisite (DSCR) is an important part of Dorothea Orem?s ?Self- Care Deficit Theory of Nursing??the most notable of her nursing theories?having been adopted by a number of nursing schools across the United States as the organizing framework for their nursing curriculum. According to Orem, Developmental Self Care Requisite (DSCR) is one of three types of requisites that are used for assessing a patient?s ability to take care of him or herself, the others being the Universal Self-Care Requisites (USCR) and the Health Deviation Self-Care Requisites (HDSCR). The ?Developmental Self Care Requisites? are defined as the needs of people required for taking care of themselves (?Self Care,? in nursing parlance) at different stages of their lives. These requisites or needs could arise from either ?maturational? changes in the life cycle, such as pregnancy, childhood, and aging; or from situational events that occur throughout human development, such as grief and loss (death of a close relative), relocation, disability or other traumatic changes such as the onset of terminal illness. (Orem, 1995)"

The Attitudinal Model and the Rational Choice Model, 2006.
A comparative analysis between the effectiveness of the attitudinal model and the rational choice model fo studying law.

Abstract
This paper examines the relationship between the Attitudinal Model and the Rational Choice Model for studying the law and the courts. This paper looks into how both models are used to understand the courts, in particular the United States Supreme Court. In addition, through a comparative analysis both models are applied to circumstances to determine which model is most appropriate when trying to understanding how the courts establish and define law.
From the Paper
"At first glance the attitudinal model and the rational choice (Strategic) model for studying the law and the courts seem vastly different. Essentially this is because they serve different purposes. The Attitudinal Model seeks to explain why justices (for our purposes justices on the Supreme Court) vote the way that they do, and the running premise is that they do so to implement their own personal policy preferences into the law. The Strategic Model seeks to explain the collective decision making process of the Supreme Court, focusing on what constrains, controls and influences the justices' decisions. However, the relationship between the Attitudinal Model and the Strategic Model for studying the law and the courts is not as clear-cut as this. This is because in an analysis of their essential foundations and applications, the strategic model, although different and contradictory at times, supplements the Attitudinal Model."

Review of Selected Literature
Application
Summary and Conclusion
From the Paper
"This theory is most significant in the realm of practice, particularly patient education, in the case of life-altering chronic diseases. In a study by Wilson, Mood, Risk and Kershaw (2003), they attempted to tackle the issue of evaluating written lay literature for health education and instruction by incorporating elements of Orem's theories. Evaluation involved two main components: "factors congruent with the patient and his or her environment [and] essential evaluation factors" (Wilson, Mood, Risk & Kershaw, 2003, p. 70). They found that more traditional formats, such as presenting an overview of the disease first might need to be tailored according to the reading material evaluation results in order to encourage knowledge retention and comprehension rather than readability (Wilson, Mood, Risk & Kershaw, 2003)."

The Due Process Model vs. The Crime Control Model, 2004.
Looks at the conflicting goals of the United States criminal justice system: to control crime and to protect the rights of the accused.

Abstract
The criminal justice system here in the United States has traditionally operated under the premises of two fundamentally opposing goals. One goal is the crime control goal. This goal operates under the idea that criminals should be aggressively pursued and crimes aggressively punished. The other goal is the due process goal. This goal operates under the premise that the rights of the accused need to be carefully protected in any criminal justice investigation. This paper examines both of these positions, determining which one is the better goal for the United States to pursue, and why.
From the Paper
"Liberals have been the traditional defenders of the due process model (Perron). They are certainly operating under noble guidelines. The United States Constitution itself carefully lays out the rights of the accused in a series of amendments in the Bill of Rights. The Founding Fathers were obviously very concerned about protecting the rights of the accused, or these protections would not have been included in the Constitution. Should we as a nation follow any less stringent standards in dealing with our accused today? "
