Abstract
Orem's self-care deficit nursing theory (SCDNT) is well-known and applied in nursing practice worldwide. Many researchers have commended SCDNT for improving patients' health outcomes through nurses' contributions. This case study provides a chance to comprehend the practical implementation of theory-based nursing practice in a care setting. Information regarding the patient was gathered through Orem's conceptualization as a guide; Mrs. Y is 63, in late middle age, with type 2 diabetes. Three health deviations self-care requirements emerged as the main aim for the patient's family in seeking assistance. The highest blood glucose value during the study was 211 mg/dl, and the average following management was 118 mg/dl. She was on the partially compensatory nursing system, and after applying SCDNT, her intended nursing care outcomes were achieved. The family members were encouraged to support her in regaining more energy and blood sugar level control, which are vital for her future progress and lifestyle modifications for diabetes management. Nurses can apply SCDNT to implement, monitor, and evaluate nursing interventions in clinical practice. It offers a practice update that ensures accountability following practical interventions in managing chronic conditions like T2DM.
