Patient Care Approach Using Nursing Theories - Comparative Analysis of Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory and Henderson’s Model

Abstract

Nursing theories have been developed to provide guidance in clinical practice, so their knowledge by nurses is mandatory in order to provide advanced nursing care. This paper presents the relationships between the concepts and major assumptions of Henderson’s model and Orem’s theory and then their comparative analysis. Both, Henderson’s model and Orem’s theory of self-care deficit have a major impact, internationally, in education and research, but also in nursing practice, as a result of which their knowledge can open a new perspective on care, especially in countries where they are not well enough known.

Down Sendromu Tanılı Hastanın Henderson Hemşirelik Modeli'ne Göre Değerlendirilmesi: Olgu Sunumu

“…Virginia Henderson, sağlığı korumak veya yeniden kazandırmak için bütüncül bir bakım anlayışı ile bireye destek olunması gerektiğini savunmaktadır (6). Bu modelde, hemşireliğin temel odağı olarak temel insani gereksinimlere önem verilmiş, bireyin gereksinimleri belirlenmiş ve bu gereksinimlerin giderilmesinde hemşirenin rolünün önemi vurgulanmıştır (7,8).…”

Promoting infection prevention behaviors in family caregivers of Preschoolers with Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia: The application of Self-care deficit Theory

“…The first is foundational traits, the second is enabling traits (power components or PCs), and the third is operational traits (dependent-care operations), which are related to an individual's ability. 2,25,30 In order to perform dependent-care operation, a set of 10 PCs are required. From 10 PCs, however, a person can develop some PCs on their own with sufficient physical maturity.…”

“…The results of theoretical construction supported by evidence of trustworthiness provide four important power components that influence DCA. 2,[25][26][27][28][29][30] There are four essential power components affecting health care behaviors, including the motivation to provide dependent care, the ability to make dependent care decisions, the ability to acquire technical knowledge about dependent care, and the ability to provide dependent care 2,[26][27][28][29][30].…”

“…Researchers often derive concepts without critical analysis or theoretical substruction to support a specific nursing area. 2,15,27,29,30 The application of SCDT should be evaluated by incorporating the theory to identify the factors causing the problem, determining the linkage between variables, and deducing the construct or concept at implication level. 2,20,24 This study is an attempt to improve nursing care for preschoolers with ALL by applying the SCDT in promoting family caregivers' agency.…”

Integration of Maqasid As-Shariah in Nutrition Nursing: Potential Role of Nurses

“…Nutrition is an important element emphasized by our nursing theorist, Virginia Henderson and Orem in their nursing models that each patient needs to be assisted particularly when they are sick (1,2). Several nutritional aspects commonly monitored by the nurses include anthropometric, biochemical, clinical, dietary and nursing history data (3).…”
