Self care concept after Orem
In the year 1958 Dorothea Orem began with the development as well as the testing of its theory of the self care, which her to 1971 in the book "“only-sing concepts OF practice"” published. It receives to today acknowledgment in the professional world, whereby the largest point of criticism of its theory consists of the fact that it proceeds from "“disturbed functions"” of humans and thus develops a rather negative aspect. Their definitions have a high value in the care science.Works
