[Bibliographies on Dorothea Orem's nursing theory].

Bibliography on the subject of Dorothea Orem's nursing theory Dorothea Orem's theory is now well known in Switzerland. In many first level and continuing education courses it is taught, dealt with and critically examined. Various attempts are made to translate it into practice. This compilation shows, in the form of abstracts of various articles, how Orem's self-care-deficit theory is applied, discussed and reflected upon. Part of this paper compares Orem's theory with other nursing theories. This bibliography, like that already published in Pflege, Vol. 7, 1994, Nr. 3, was compiled in the context of the topic "Pain", as part of the Higher Professional Education Course, level 2, of the Advanced School of Nursing, Aarau.
