Question

is orem theory congruent with current nursing interventions or therapeutics?

Answer 1

The philosophy of Orems theory is based upon patients wish to care for themselves and moderate realism.The Self care Framework provides ideas to guide the focus of nursing in the health-care institution,the purpose of nursing services,charcteristics of personnel,settings for nursing services and management strategies and administrative policies.Since it is a unique framework in focus,content ,style and vocabulary ,therefoe education and special skill training required before applying the nursing model in nursing practice.There is lot of empirical evidence which supports Orems claim that nurses contribute to maintaining health,preventing disease and disability .It presents an optimistic view of patients contributions to their health care and an explicit focus on what matters to nurses.
