Focus on Orem Practice Theory and Parse Concept of True Presence

The field of nursing and care provision requires the use and application of many theories. The theories are significant because they aid in quicker decision-making about the patient’s conditions based on the theoretical frameworks and knowledge. Various concepts in nursing are also essential because they provide the nurses with the ability to articulate evidence that provides justification for their practice methodologies. One of the theories and concepts that are widely known are the Orem Self care Theory and the concept of True presence, whose applicability and significance are discussed herein.

Exemplar 2, the Orem Practice

The Orem practice provides a theory for self-care that is majorly anchored on the ability of an individual or the patients to take responsibility for their self-care. According to Yip, (2021), the theory is defined as the practice of a set of activities that are initiated by the individuals and performed on their own behalf so that they maintain their life and proper wellbeing. This definition describes Orem’s practice as one of the implements the act to help patients within the constraints of their management of self-care to improve the effectiveness of the caregiving process. The role of nurses and caregivers, according to Orem practice, is to ensure they offer assistance by providing education, guidance, and support to the patients in a developmental environment.

Clinical practice is made up of diversified aspects that contribute to care efficacy. This aspect majorly includes caring, communication skills, empathy, attention giving, problem-solving skills, and commitment to patient advocacy. Orem practice, in its definition, has a definite relation to these aspects of nursing and is hence very significant. In any clinical practice, nurses must practice with the spirit of assisting the patients by teaching, guiding, supporting, and giving a proper developmental environment, hence upholding the aspects of clinical practice. The theory provides clearer definitions of roles in treatments, care provision, and prevention (Yip, 2021). One application of the theory is in the acute care section, where the nurse must find the care deficit and fulfill it; for example, if the deficit is caused by injuries, the nurse offers help for the injuries management for faster patient recovery. Through care provision, the nurses should share any relevant information and uphold high qualities of clinical care aspects. The major significance of the theory hence becomes its importance in helping nurses to establish the given patient care aspects that should be prioritized in a situation.

Orem justifies that self-care is within the ability of every human being. In this Orem practice theory, three stages are involved, with various theories applicable at those stages. They are a theory for self-care, the theory of self-care deficit, and the theory of nursing systems (De Brito et al., 2017). The most challenging of these stages is the second stage of self-care deficit. According to this stage, nursing is demanded when the adults are incapable of sustaining continuous effective self-care. It involves five steps that require the nurse to do things for the patients, guide the patients, support, teach, and provide an effective environment for the patients (Younas, 2017). However, thus the stage is challenging because determining when the patient can no longer sustain their self-care is challenging because there is no specific formula to stable that the patient is unable to do something on their own.

Moreover, the nurse may respond when it is already late, and much harm has occurred. Self-deficient care may cause controversy among some patients who feel uncomfortable that their privacy is being invaded, raising ethical issues. Therefore, the stage should be pursued with utmost care to embrace efficacy in practice.

Exemplar 4, Application of Parse Concept applies in Care Provision

The Parse concept theory intends to promote the quality of life in the care context from the point of patients view. It offers guidance to nurses to ensure that they focus on the patient quality of life from how they see it; that is the goal of parse theory (Sadat-Hoseini and Khosropanah, 2017). This theory is applicable in nursing and does not label any behavior. The nurse following this theory does not follow the traditional care process but instead has a given framework to stick on. The theory requires that the nurses live once by the fundamental concepts of true presence, which provides a way to be with the patient while embracing their values as the criteria for care guidance.
