英文摘要 |
This article described the application of Orem’s self-care theory in guiding the nursing care for a 65 year old client with end stage renal disease (ESRD). Three self-care deficits were addressed including lack of knowledge on disease progression, management of therapeutic CAPD regimen and nutrition requirements for people with ESRD. The partial compensatory and supportive education nursing intervention was implemented to help the patient understand the nature of his disease, effectively manage the therapeutic regimen, and adapt the life changes caused by this illness. |
