Area of Science:

  • Nursing
  • Social Science
  • Healthcare Research

Background:

  • Self-neglect, encompassing poor personal hygiene, household cleanliness, and health, is a familiar yet under-researched phenomenon in nursing.
  • Existing theoretical frameworks, such as Orem's Theory of Self-Care and the medical model, offer limited conceptualization of self-neglect.

Observation:

  • This multiple case study investigated the perceptions of self-neglect among healthcare professionals, patients, and their relatives.
  • The study aimed to uncover diverse perspectives on the phenomenon of self-neglect.

Findings:

  • The research identified significant limitations in understanding self-neglect when relying solely on Orem's Theory of Self-Care and the medical model.
  • Professional, patient, and relative perceptions highlight the complexity and multifaceted nature of self-neglect.

Implications:

  • Findings suggest a need for revised theoretical approaches to better understand and address self-neglect in clinical practice.
  • Further research is warranted to develop more comprehensive models for conceptualizing and intervening in cases of self-neglect.
