Metaparadigms of Orem’s Model
Person Environment Health Nursing
Metaparadigm: Person
An individual or group of individuals who have the ability to acquire the knowledge necessary to perform tasks of self care.
Ability to integrate self-care tasks and family, community and individual needs.
Motivation to accomplish self care tasks.
Intellectual ability to cognitively perform, delegate and evaluate tasks performed.
Metaparadigm: Health
“Promotes function and development within social groups in accordance with human potential, known human limitation, and the human desire to return to normal” (Tomey & Alligood, 2006 p. 279).
Metaparadigm: Environment4 realms of state are encompassed in Environment:
Physical Chemical Biological Socioeconomical
Environment continued
Environment – Physical Shelter Security- internal
and external Climate Amenities eg. Heat,
electricity, indoor plumbing, sanitation…
Environment-Chemical
Chemical Pollutants:
Air Water
Physical Lead paints Mercury Asbestos
Environment-Biological
Biological Molds Pollens Allergens Mites Animal waste and
its by-products
Environment-Socioeconomic
Socioeconomic Family income Education level Occupation Social status Resources
Metaparadigm: NursingThe skilled professional who evaluates and acknowledges a patient’s health deficit.
Nursing plans and implements care based on the actual and potential self-care deficits.

Concepts Unique to Orem’s Model
Three Nursing Theories1. The Theory of
Self Care2. The Theory of
Self-Care Deficit3. The Theory of
Nursing Systems
Theory of Self-Care
“Self –care comprises the practice of activities that maturing and mature persons initiate and perform, within time frames, on their own behalf in the interest of maintaining life, healthful functioning, continuing personal development and well-being through meeting known requisites for functional and developmental regulations”(Tomey & Alligood, 2006 p.269).
Theory of Self-Care continued The Theory of Self-
Care has three components: universal self-care needs, developmental self-care needs and health deviation.
Theory of Self-Care Deficit
A self-care deficit occurs when an individual cannot carry out self-care requisites.
Examples of self-care requisites are: Wound care Activities of Daily Living Bowel program Glucose monitoring
Universal Self-Care Requisites
The 8 elements : Air Food Water Elimination/
Excretion Activity & Rest Solitude/Social
interaction Functioning/Well-
being Normalcy
Developmental Self-Care Requisites
Composed of 3 needs Promote
development Engage in self-
development Preventing or
overcoming adverse human conditions and life situations
Health Deviation Self-Care Requisites
When a condition permanently or temporarily alters structural, physiological or psychological function. Comatose states Autism Mental Retardation
Theory of Nursing Systems
Total compensatory support- patient is unable to complete any self-care independently; nursing compensates for patient’s inability to perform self-care.
Partial compensatory support- patient is able to perform self-care tasks with partial or no assistance from nursing.
Educative/supportive compensatory– patient able to perform tasks independently. Nursing provides ongoing education and support.
Clinical Practice Models for Patient AssessmentTheory applies to multiple clinical settings.
Theory applied in order to:
Home By the patient alone or
with assistance provided
Doctor’s office Education provided and
care supervised by a nurse
Hospital Needs identified,
assessed and plan of care implemented
Extended care facility
Help identify the patient’s ability for self-care deficits that need to be addressed to promote health.
Help identify support available to patient such as family and environment.
Encourage patient to develop self-care abilities
Orem’s Theory Applied to Nursing Education
Teaches the student to encourage compensatory care in the patient population.
Conceptualize patients’ current and potential self-care deficits.
Supports the nursing process in all 3 nursing theories.
Research Status of Orem’s Model
Model used by multiple nursing specialties due to encompassing nature of Orem’s theory.
Current research using Orem’s theory would include: Chinese Medicine Battered woman
counseling
Orem’s Strengths
The Self Care Deficit Theory is specific to nursing.
The Theory can be used in multiple nursing specialties.
The concept of self-care and health maintenance are congruent with contemporary literature in healthcare.
The theory creates a coordinated nursing care plan that adjusts to the patient’s needs throughout recovery.
Orem’s Limitations
Time consuming for nurses
Direct contact is necessary throughout the nursing process.
Multiple levels of the theory to consider Self care, self care deficit and self care deficit potential.
Does not address cultural needs
Analysis and Insights
Three theories combined into one.
Cumbersome Completely
dependent on nursing to assess the patient and family’s ability to complete self-care requisites and deficits
Culturally diverse
