Introduction Many researchers have commended the self-care deficit nursing theory (SCDNT) developed by Orem as a means of improving patients' health outcomes through nurses' contributions. However, experimental research has investigated specific aspects of SCDNT, such as self-care agency and self-care requisites, rather than how the construct is practiced and understood as a whole. The current research presents a case study in which an advanced practice nurse (APN) used SCDNT-led practice within a primary healthcare setting that illustrates how the theory is applied to case management. Methods A case study was conducted by observing an APN during her work in the asthma clinic of a public hospital in Hong Kong. A comparison was made between the case management of the APN under observation with the nursing processes stipulated by the SCDNT across four key operations: diagnostic, prescriptive, treatment or regulatory, and case management. Conclusion During the observed consultation, the APN applied the four key operations. In SCDNT, the role of the APN is to apply practical nursing knowledge by determining how a patient can best undertake self-care within the circumstances of their living arrangements and support facilities. The case study also demonstrated that SCDNT-based nursing practice has strengths and limitations in a primary healthcare setting. The study concluded that Orem's SCDNT serves as an appropriate theoretical framework for nursing practice within primary healthcare settings. One practical consequence of using SCDNT is that it enables APNs to use nurse-sensitive indicators when evaluating their clinical practice. This study offers a practice update to increase the accountability of nursing practice for nurse-led healthcare services.

Problem: A review of the literature indicated that human trafficking is a worldwide problem and not all nurses in the healthcare setting were adequately trained to identify and care for human trafficking victims.Purpose: The purpose of this study was to further explore nurses’ awareness regarding human trafficking.Method: This quantitative, cross-sectional, non-experimental study with a descriptive design, studied the issue by administering a survey to nurses actively working in the field. The theoretical framework of forced labor and Orem’s self-care deficit nursing theory were used to guide the study. The data were collected using SurveyMonkey®, an Internet-based confidential data-collection tool. The survey contained eight demographic questions and sixteen Likert-type statements. The researchers obtained personal email addresses and used Facebook contacts to send out the survey initially. In this study, a Snowball sampling was used to obtain nurse participants.Results: A total of 166 responses were received from nurses across the United States. The results confirmed that there is a lack of awareness among nurses about human trafficking. An increase in both training and education amongst nurses could increase the number of victims, which go unnoticed, being saved or provided with assistance. Nurses also must be more self-aware about the patients they are encountering and be more observant of signs that look suspicious. The most agreed upon statement by participants was that counseling should be available to people who are affected by human trafficking (M = 3.75, SD = 0.48).

ABSTRACT Objective: to apply nursing care systemization to a client submitted to angioplasty with placement of coronary stents in the light of King’s Theory of Goal Attainment. Method: convergent care research, carried out at the patient’s home. The following Nursing Diagnoses were elaborated and the interventions are proposed according to the connection between NANDA, NIC and NOC. The project was previously approved by the Research Ethics committee from University Federal do Ceará, under no protocol 61/08. Results: the nursing diagnoses: imbalanced nutrition: less than body requirements, impaired physical mobility, activity intolerance, chronic sadness, disturbed sleep patterns, self-care deficit control and ineffective family therapeutic regimen. the goals were: To obtain an adequate diet and fluid intake; Perform physical exercise safely and social interaction activities; Try and decrease dependence on the medication and adjust sleep times; Facilitate the accomplishment of self-care activities. The nursing plan attained a majority of the established goals, even if partially, which was expected in view of the proposed goals and implementation time. Conclusion: the use of Nursing Diagnoses is a technology needed for daily nursing care, as it permits comprehensive care and is relevant in home treatment, with an emphasis on health promotion.Descriptors: nursing process; nursing theory; coronary disease; care.RESUMO Objetivo: implementar a sistematização da assistência de enfermagem a um cliente submetido à angioplastia com colocação de stents coronarianos à luz da Teoria de Alcance de Metas de King.

AbstractNursing theories have been developed to provide guidance in clinical practice, so their knowledge by nurses is mandatory in order to provide advanced nursing care. This paper presents the relationships between the concepts and major assumptions of Henderson’s model and Orem’s theory and then their comparative analysis. Both, Henderson’s model and Orem’s theory of self-care deficit have a major impact, internationally, in education and research, but also in nursing practice, as a result of which their knowledge can open a new perspective on care, especially in countries where they are not well enough known.
