Abstract

The focus of the theory is on the child and influenced by cultural heritage of Japan. We share the basic idea of the Orem’s Nursing Theory that all individuals have the ability to care for themselves, and through learning, they can develop their own self-care capability to fit their situation and engage in actions intentionally. However, there exists difficulty in implementing this idea on the clinical nursing situation. We reconstructed the Orem’s Nursing Theory from the view of the child’s capability and interactive mechanism between the child and parent(s), i.e., care agent(s) in Japan.
