Mean Description SD
The result was highly evident in the influence of Dorothea Orem’s Self Care
Deficit on nursing practice among nursing students which is shown in table 1. It
was very high because nursing students applies the theory of Orem’s when it
comes in dealing patients with confidence in their skills, good attitude towards
approaching their patients and the have the knowledge with the nursing care plan
that they will give to their patients.
Table 1 also talks about Orem’s Self Care Deficit Theory is an effective
theory in relation to nurses’ performance with regards to the health care provision.
The result also showed that the nursing students can perform well with less
supervision of their instructors and has a good communication with the patient and
to determine the needs in regards with the self-care. This implies that nursing
students were well prepared and trained by their instructors who gives emphasis

The findings indicates that the level of influence of Dorothea’s Self Care
Deficit on nursing practice among female nursing students does not differ from
male nursing students. This implies that male and female are both trained well in
terms of providing the best nursing care for their patients.
The influence of Dorothea Orem’s Self Care Deficit among males and
females is evident. Both male and female nursing students perform any task that
is assigned to them effectively and with no hesitations when it comes in dealing
patients with Self Care Deficit because the job of the nurse is to provide effective,
efficient, and holistic care to the patients.
This result is supported by the study of (Evans 1997) which states that the
social construction of what it means to be a nurse has typically meant a caring,
hard working. Roles like nurturing, caring, dependency, submission given to her
are opposite from the ones that are attributed to men in society.
Group Statistics
The finding indicates that the level of influence of Dorothea Orem’s Self
Care Deficit on nursing practice among 2nd year nursing students does not differ
with 4th year nursing students. This implies that nursing students is prepared and
trained by their clinical instructors before they have their exposure in the hospital.
This is why they can manage what the nurses should do in regards of dealing
with the patients.
Conclusions
With the findings of the paper, the following conclusions were formed:
3. With attitude, there are two influences on nursing practice among nursing
students. Based from the data, a nursing student accept supervision and direction:
seek clarification and; have the patience to provide care and assistance for those
chronically ill patients who cannot perform self-care. Based on Nursing Standard
(2015), attitudes helps to understand how people perceive issues and processes in
care and determine what’s deem important, good, relevant and appropriate. Nurses
should understand attitudes of the people to provide collaborative, patient-centered
care.
Recommendations
Head Nurse. It is recommended to check and remind the nurses to give the
best nursing care, good assistance to the patients and treat them properly with all
their might.
