SOCIAL LIFE (SELF-CARE DEFICIT THEORY):
Orem recognizes that each person develops as a separate, unique person and at their own rate. Environmental conditions and the availability of resources that promote the natural development of individuals vary within families, communities and even societies. Each person throughout these stages experiences internal and external conditions that can change or adversely affect their development. At certain stages of development, the person becomes involved in his or her development and movement toward maturity. Initially, during the stages of intrauterine life, infancy, and childhood, the developmental requisites are met by dependent-care agents, parents, or others.

Persons must develop knowledge of the ways in which these factors influence both the self-care requisites and the abilities for meeting self-care or dependent care. Nurses need this knowledge to distinguish individual characteristics of persons so that they are better able to help and collaborate with meeting and achieving therapeutic self-care. Knowledge of the basic conditioning factors may also help the nurse to predict the type and amount of assistance persons will accept. Nurses must also have insight into their own basic conditioning factors as this will influence their nursing agency and the nursing care they provide.

That’s the reason why Jaarsma et al.

They opined that self-care approaches should be focused more on the particular behaviour that will solve the problem of the patient.
Orem (2001) says the role each profession plays is determined by the health care needs of the person (patient), such as a disease, for example. The phenomenon “disease” is the focus of medical practice (medical diagnosis, treatment, prevention, etc.). The health care needs of a patient requiring nursing care relate to the self-care requisites. If the person is unable to meet his/her self-care requisites, nursing is needed. How do you know if a patient has self-care
