Area of Science:

  • Nursing Theory
  • Self-Care Research

Background:

  • Self-care agency is a central concept in Dorothea Orem's nursing model.
  • The evolution of this concept has been shaped by Orem and the Nursing Development Conference Group.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To trace the interplay between theory and research in defining self-care agency.
  • To review theoretical constructions and operational measures of self-care agency.
  • To identify research-supported dimensions of self-care agency.

Main Methods:

  • Review of theoretical works by Orem and the Nursing Development Conference Group.
  • Analysis of operational measures of self-care agency and their theoretical underpinnings.
  • Examination of factorial structures of self-care agency instruments in relation to Orem's conceptualization.

Main Results:

  • Theoretical constructions of self-care agency are presented.
  • Operational measures are described with attention to their theoretical basis.
  • Factorial structures of instruments are linked to Orem's latest model components.
  • Consistent dimensions of self-care agency supported by research are identified.

Conclusions:

  • Research consistently supports specific dimensions of self-care agency.
  • The study clarifies the concept of self-care agency through theory-research interaction.
  • Findings contribute to a deeper understanding of self-care agency within Orem's nursing model.
