High mortality rates due to heart disease in the
UK despite advancements in medical care.
2.Clinical Question (PICO(T)):
Population/Patient: Individuals in the UK
diagnosed with heart disease
Intervention: Improved nursing practice using
Orem's Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory

improved patient outcomes
3.Utilized Reviews:
Quantitative: Examined interventions' efficacy
in reducing mortality.
Qualitative: Explored patient experiences and
perspectives on nursing care.
Mixed Methods: Combined quantitative data
on treatment outcomes with qualitative patient
experiences.
Systematic Reviews: Summarized multiple
studies on nursing strategies in heart disease
management.
4.Key Findings:
Identified correlations between patient
education, self-care, and reduced mortality
rates.
Patient involvement in their care significantly
improved health outcomes.
5.Limitations of Studies:
Limited sample sizes in certain studies.
Variability in methodologies across the
reviewed literature.
6.Recommendations for Practice:
Enhance nursing education on Orem's theory for
heart disease management.
