Dorothea E. Orem (1914–2007)
“Nursing is practical endeavor, but it is practical endeavor engaged in by persons who have specialized theoretic nursing knowledge with developed capabilities to put this knowledge to work in concrete situations of nursing practice.” (Orem, 2001)
Credentials and background of the theorist
Dorothea Elizabeth Orem was born in Baltimore, Maryland, in 1914.
She began her nursing career at Providence Hospital School of Nursing in Washington, DC, where she received a diploma of nursing in the early 1930s.
Orem received a bachelor of science degree in Nursing Education from Catholic University of America (CUA) in 1939, and she received a master’s of science degree in Nursing Education from the same university in 1946.
Background
Orem’s early nursing experiences included operating room nursing, private duty nursing (home and hospital), hospital staff nursing on pediatric and adult medical and surgical units, evening supervisor in the emergency room, and biological science teaching.
Orem held the directorship of both the nursing school and the Department of Nursing at Providence Hospital, Detroit, from 1940 to 1949. After leaving Detroit, she spent 8 years (1949–1957) in Indiana working at the Division of Hospital and Institutional Services of the Indiana State Board of Health.
In 1957, Orem moved to Washington, DC, to take a position at the Office of Education, U.S. Department of Health, Education, and Welfare, as a curriculum consultant. From 1958 to 1960, she worked on a project to upgrade practical nurse training.
That project stimulated a need to address the question: What is the subject matter of nursing? As a result, Guides for Developing Curricula for the Education of Practical Nurses was developed (Orem, 1959).
Background
In 1970, Orem left CUA and began her consulting firm. Orem’s first published book was Nursing: Concepts of Practice (Orem, 1971).
She was editor for the NDCG as they prepared and later revised Concept Formalization in Nursing: Process and Product (NDCG, 1973, 1979).
In 2004 a reprint of the second edition was produced and distributed by the International Orem Society for Nursing Science and Scholarship (IOS). Subsequent editions of Nursing: Concepts of Practice were published in 1980, 1985, 1991, 1995, and 2001. Orem retired in 1984 and continued developing the self-care deficit nursing theory (SCDNT).
Background
Georgetown University conferred the honorary degree of Doctor of Science on Orem in 1976.
She received the CUA Alumni Association Award for Nursing Theory in 1980.
Other honors included Honorary Doctor of Science, Incarnate Word College, 1980; Doctor of Humane Letters, Illinois Wesleyan University, 1988; Linda Richards Award, National League for Nursing, 1991; and Honorary Fellow of the American Academy of Nursing, 1992.

There are various theories proposed by nursing theorist. among those, Orem is one who gave self care deficit theory. She proposed three interrelated concepts viz. theory of self care, theory of self care deficit , and theory of nursing system.
Humans require deliberate input to self and environment to be alive and to function
The power to act deliberately, is exercised in caring for self and others
Theorist : Dorothea Orem (1914-2007).
She worked as a staff nurse, private duty nurse, nurse educator and administrator and nurse consultant.

CRISPR-Cas9, a revolutionary gene-editing tool, holds immense potential to reshape medicine, agriculture, and our understanding of life. But like any powerful tool, it comes with ethical considerations.
Unveiling CRISPR: This naturally occurring bacterial defense system (crRNA & Cas9 protein) fights viruses. Scientists repurposed it for precise gene editing (correction, deletion, insertion) by targeting specific DNA sequences.
The Promise: CRISPR offers exciting possibilities:
Gene Therapy: Correcting genetic diseases like cystic fibrosis.
Agriculture: Engineering crops resistant to pests and harsh environments.
Research: Studying gene function to unlock new knowledge.
The Peril: Ethical concerns demand attention:
Off-target Effects: Unintended DNA edits can have unforeseen consequences.
Eugenics: Misusing CRISPR for designer babies raises social and ethical questions.
Equity: High costs could limit access to this potentially life-saving technology.
The Path Forward: Responsible development is crucial:
International Collaboration: Clear guidelines are needed for research and human trials.
Public Education: Open discussions ensure informed decisions about CRISPR.
Prioritize Safety and Ethics: Safety and ethical principles must be paramount.
CRISPR offers a powerful tool for a better future, but responsible development and addressing ethical concerns are essential. By prioritizing safety, fostering open dialogue, and ensuring equitable access, we can harness CRISPR's power for the benefit of all. (2998 characters)

Health Education on prevention of hypertensionRadhika kulvi
Hypertension is a chronic condition of concern due to its role in the causation of coronary heart diseases. Hypertension is a worldwide epidemic and important risk factor for coronary artery disease, stroke and renal diseases. Blood pressure is the force exerted by the blood against the walls of the blood vessels and is sufficient to maintain tissue perfusion during activity and rest. Hypertension is sustained elevation of BP. In adults, HTN exists when systolic blood pressure is equal to or greater than 140mmHg or diastolic BP is equal to or greater than 90mmHg. The

Achievement Award for Nursing Theory in 1980.
Linda Richards Award from the National League Of
Nursing in 1991.
In 1971 published Nursing: Concepts of practice.
Second , third and fourth editions of this book were
published in1980, 1985, 1991 and fifth in1995 and
sixth in 2001.
4. Orem’s General Theory Of
Nursing:
Orem (1991) states her general theory
composed of three interrelated theories :
1)Theory of self-care
2)Theory of self-care deficit
3)Theory of nursing systems
6. Self-care
The performance or practice of activities that individuals
initiate and perform on their own behalf to maintain life,
health and well being.
Self-care agency
• The human’s ability or power to engage in self-care.
• Affected by basic conditioning factors.
Basic conditioning factors
Age, gender, developmental state, health state, socio-cultural
orientation, health care system factors, family system factors,
pattern of living , environmental factors and resource
adequacy and availability.
7. The therapeutic self-care demand
“Self-care actions to be performed for some
duration in order to meet known self care
requisites by using valid methods and related
sets of operations and actions.”
Self-care requisites
“ Actions directed toward the provision of self
care.” They are common to all the stages of
the life cycle.
8. Orem identifies self-care requisites
as follows:-
A. Universal (Activities of daily living [ADL])
B. Developmental
C. Health deviation
9. 2.Theory of self-care deficit:
Core of Orem’s theory of nursing
It delineates when nursing is needed.
Nursing may be provided if
“ care abilities are less than those required for meeting a self
care demand ”
“ to incorporate newly prescribed , complex self care measures
into their self care systems, the performance of which requires
specialized knowledge and skills to be acquired through
training and experience ”
“ in recovering from disease or injury or in coping with their
effects.”
10. 3.Theory of nursing systems:
Based on the self care needs and abilities of the
patient to perform self care activities.
Three classification of nursing systems to meet self
care requisites of the patient.
a) Wholly compensatory system
b) Partly compensatory system
c) Supportive educative system
Eg.- Woman in labor may move from supportive educative
system to partly compensatory system in early labor and then
wholly compensatory if she requires a cesarean delivery.
11. It describes the relation between components. R
indicates the relationship between the components; <
indicates a current or potential deficit where nursing
would be required.
12. Nursing metaparadigm concepts:
Nursing – It is art , a helping service and a
technology.
Health-It refers to the patient’s level of wellness.
Environment- The environment consist of internal ,
external and social factors that impact a patient’s
health.
Human being-It includes the total being with
universal and developmental needs.
13. Comparison of Orem’s nursing process
and nursing process
Nursing process-
Assessment
Nursing diagnosis
Plans with scientific rationale
Implementation
Evaluation
Orem’s nursing process-
Diagnosis and prescription ; determine why nursing is needed. Analyze and
interpret- make judgements regarding care.
Design of a nursing system and plan for delivery of care.
Production and management of nursing systems.
14. Orem’s work and the characteristics of
a theory:-
Interrelate concepts
Logical
Simple yet generalizable
Basis of hypothesis that can be tested
Increase body of knowledge of dicipline
Guide to improve practice
Consisted with other theories but leave unanswered
questions to be investigated
15. Strengths of Orem’s theory:-
Provides a comprehensive basis to nursing practice.
Utility for professional nursing in areas of nursing practice, nursing
education and administration, curricular, research and nursing
education.
It is applicable for nursing by the beginning practitioner as well as
the advanced clinicians.
She defines when nursing is needed.
Promotes the concepts of professional nursing.
Includes continuing education as part of the professional component
of nursing education.
Individual self care to include multi-person units.
16. Limitations of Orem’s theory:
The term self care is used with numerous configurations. The use of
self-care in multitude of terms, such as self-care agency, self-care
demand, self-care deficit, self-care requisites, and universal self-care,
can be very confusing to the reader.
Orem’s definition of health was confined in three static conditions
which she refers to a “concrete nursing system,” which connotes
rigidity.
Throughout her work, there is limited acknowledgement of the
individual’s emotional needs.
Appears that the theory is illness oriented rather with no indication
of its use in wellness settings.
