Nursing theory helps to develop relationship bought together by different ideas so that we can understand behavior and alter our profession to provide suitable and relevant care. The purpose of this paper is to engage myself in the thoughts and writing done by Theorist Dorethea Orem and examine her theoretical field of self-care. I will investigate how her theory was developed through concepts and describe how the terms used to create her nursing theory have developed and the significate its meanings have in the nursing profession. I will further examine how her theory is used as evidence based practice. Theory Development

I will begin by defining self-care as all activities that humans having the ability to care for their own health and well-being. Frequently I ask myself what a patient cannot do for themselves and why they cannot do it. I therefore realize self-care require three categories of requisites: universal, development, and health deviation. There activities that help us to sustain based life functions (Gebhardt Taylor and Renpenning, 2011). For me to create my theory I need to define the nursing system. There system involve nurses either supportive education, partially, or wholly providing the self-care measures that most patient cannot provide for themselves. Wholly or partially providing the care measures means that the patient cannot participate in the care either by their inability or lack of interest. There are many questions I would ask and many answers that I need to know for example how I can help as a nurse to process of promoting self-care …show more content…
Self-care can be applied through many areas of nursing. The following are examples of how my theory can be applied through evidence based practice.
1. By carefully monitoring re-admission rates of our patient initiating discharge planning and assessing that rates before the initiation and the rates after the initiation. This provides evidence that discharge planning in fact helps to promotes self-care experiences when a person transition back to their own environments and decrease re-admission rate.
2. Starting the assessment and surveys of a patient’s readiness to learn upon admission with continue re assessments to determine the best time to start self-care teaching methods. This can be monitored through repeat demonstrations to determine if readiness to learn will affects one’s self-care abilities.
3. To help the efforts to reduce hospital fall rates including education of self-care methods and studying the rates of falls prior to the implementation and
