I will summarize the strengths and the weaknesses of the theory. This assignment will discuss whether they theory is congruent with current nursing standards, whether this theory is relevant socially and cross-culturally, and describe how the theory may contribute to the discipline of nursing. Validity of Theory of Self-Care of Chronic Illness Based on empirical testing of the Theory of Self-Care of Chronic Illness is a valid theory. "Self-care is key for people with diabetes to avoid complications and to maintain quality of life over time" (Luciani et al, 2020, para. 52). Self-Care is the concept of interest and according to the qualitative research of patient's with diabetes type two, the Theory of Self-Care of Chronic Illness can lead to the creation of personalized interventions and care plans.
