Presently, the theory is known to as self-care science and nursing theory. Taylor and Renpenning argue for Orem’s magnum opus and cite widely from her works for the science basis of life work. In Orem’s theory, veritivity examines four aspects of society: the meaning of life, the shared purpose of humanity, the purpose of human existence ...
The purpose of this paper is to give brief introduction and assumptions of Dorothea Orem’s self-care model (1971) and Callista Roy’s adaptation theory (1970), along with compare and contrast of both the theories in relationship of the four concepts of the nursing meta-paradigms which consist of person, health, environment, and nursing.

Introduction to the theorists, Sister Callista Roy and Dorothea E. Orem. Sister Callista Roy received a bachelor’s degree in nursing in 1963 from Mount Saint Mary’s College as master’s degree in pediatric nursing in 1966, a master’s degree in sociology in 1975 and a doctorate degree in sociology in 1977, all from the University of California, Los Angeles.
In 1971, Orem published Nursing: Concepts of Practice. The theory “delineates when patients are unable to care for themselves, even with the assistance of family members” (Johnson & Webber, 2010). This inability for self-care develops a demand for care that can be filled by a nurse, much like the supply and demand theory in economics.
Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory of Nursing is a grand theory and it comprises of three related theories i.e. theory of self-care, the self-care deficit theory, and the theory of nursing systems. Assimilated within the three theories, there are six core concepts and one marginal concept.
Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory and Roy’s Adaptation Model can be applied to groups or individuals, and used at any nursing settings. However, Orem’s Self-Care Deficit Theory is more recommended for the acute-care setting, where a patient receives active but short-term treatment for a severe injury or episode of illness.
