2. INTRODUCTION
• Dorothea Elizabeth Orem (July 15, 1914
– June 22, 2007), born in Baltimore,
Maryland, was a nursing theorist and
creator of the self-care deficit nursing
theory, also known as the Orem model of
nursing.
• Orem's nursing theory states self-care as a
human need, and nurses design
interventions to provide or manage self-
care actions for persons to recover or
maintain health.
