1.5. Theoretical framework
Dorothea Orem’s theory about self-care requisite was used as theoretical framework. Orem
emphasizes that the goal of nursing is, as far as possible to help an individual to
independence. A part of this theory is built on the assumption that a humans development
stretches from the beginning to the end of life. Depending on in which phase in life a person
is, the individual needs different requirements. For example during pregnancy, childbirth and
breastfeeding, the mother needs special education and nursing interventions. The
interventions are essential for facilitating the function and health of the human. According to
Orem there are five types of helping methods:
1. Act or do something for another person
2. Guide another person
3. Support another person (physical or psychical)
4. Create a developing environment
5. Educate another person
Depending on an individual’s experience and knowledge, the person needs more or less
guiding and information. Orem especially emphasizes that if the individual possesses the
knowledge and skills to accomplish an effort for her/his own well, her/he will do that action
(Kirkevold, 2000).
