Polit
and Beck 2014 stated that theory should guide the design of the intervention and the area of
study. The Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory (SCDNT) developed by Dorothea Orem has been
relevant to prior studies in managing diabetes. The SCDNT helps the nurse to identify the gaps
in knowledge and skill of the participants so that a specific plan of care can be implemented to
reach their goals. The major assumptions of Orem's Self-Care Deficit Theory noted by Petiprin
(2015) are relatable to this study: (1) People should be self-reliant and responsible for their care.
The purpose of the study is for the patients to be self-reliant in administration of insulin. (2)
People are distinct individuals, meaning people are different in too many aspects like personality,
religion, race, socio-economic, education, and many others. (3) Nursing is a form of action; it is
an interaction between two or more people. Interaction here is verbal communication and caring.
(4) Successfully meeting universal and development of self-care requisites is an important
component of primary care prevention and ill health. The structured teaching is a way
