The effect of a supportive educational intervention developed based on the Orem's self‐care theory on the self‐care ability of patients with myocardial infarction: a randomised controlled trial

Abstract

Having the ability to develop caring systems based on the nursing theories is a prerequisite to standard nursing practice. Identifying patients' educational needs is a fundamental prerequisite to patient education. Our findings revealed that the supportive educational intervention developed based on the Orem's self-care theory can help health care providers identify and fulfil patients' self-care needs.
