This study refines Orem's self-care deficit theory by developing conceptual elements of self-care requisites. It provides guides and examples for expressing self-care needs, particularly fluid intake, enhancing practical nursing science.

Area of Science:

  • Nursing Theory
  • Self-Care Science

Background:

  • Orem's self-care deficit theory comprises three constituent theories.
  • Further conceptual development of self-care theory is necessary for practical application.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To further develop conceptual elements of self-care theory.
  • To refine and expand the content area of self-care requisites.
  • To provide practical guides for expressing self-care needs.

Main Methods:

  • Identification of five content areas within the practical science of self-care.
  • Reformulation of the nature of self-care requisites.
  • Development of guides, standards, and examples for self-care requisites.

Main Results:
