739, p=0.009, e?=0.727). This study clearly highlighted that sleep shortage and work fatigue poses a threat to patient safety and that nurse self-care is warranted.[Dorrian et.al, (2006)]
Nurse Support Services
An earlier Australian study by Moore KA (2001) which observed 201 nurses working in three different hospitals had concluded that organizational restructuring policies and the consequent work overload was a high stressor for nurses and this was made worse by the poor communication style (top -- down approach instead of consultative style) that only contributed more to nurse burnout. [Moore KA, (2001)]. Given the high levels of occupational stress and burnout among nurses, it is important that nurse self-care interventions are prioritized. A recent literature review on the subject of work stress and coping methods among Australian nurses revealed that 'work load ', 'role conflict' and 'expression of aggression' were the three main stressors. The literature study also revealed 'seeking support', 'problem solving' and 'self-control' as the three important coping strategies. [Lim et.al, (2010) ] Other studies and reviews point out that 'nurse empowerment' had a strong positive effect on job satisfaction and less emotional exhaustion. Similarly studies also suggest that strong social support in the form of effective interpersonal communication with co-workers and managers help to reduce job stress. [Bonnie M. Jennings, (2008)]
Conclusion
Nursing shortage is fast becoming an international health issue. In Australia too, the demand for nurses is on the rise resulting in overworking and overloaded nurses and a consequent increase in occupational stress...
Grand Theory and Nursing PracticeIntroductionAdvanced nursing practice (ANP) and advanced practice registered nursing (APRN) are both important in being able to deliver quality, patient-centered care in nursing. However, they are different in terms of what kind of (or rather the degree to which) care can be given, and this paper looks at these differences by applying Orem�s grand theory of nursing (self-care deficit theory), and discussing how this theory relates
Nursing Theorist Grid Dorothea Oren Theory Over the years, nursing theories have been used in defining the ways healthcare is delivered through the interaction of patients and nurses. This study presents a theoretical discussion of the self-care concept in relation to health care delivery among elderly patients. The self-care concept is popular as Self-Care Deficit Theory of Nursing by Orem. Orem's theory perceives individuals as self-care agents equipped with unique needs.
Third stated by Scott is: "People who neglect their own needs and forget to nurture themselves are at danger of deeper levels of unhappiness, low self-esteem and feelings of resentment." (Scott, 2008) the risk of taking care of others and forgetting about ones' own needs is the risk of burnout "which makes it more difficult to care for others or themselves." (Scott, 2008) the work of Elaine Martin (2005)

Dorothea OremDorothea Orem\\\'s Self-Care Deficit Nursing Theory (SCDNT) focuses on the patient\\\'s role in his own care. The main starting point of Orem\\\'s theory is that patients can recover more effectively and maintain their health better when they are actively involved in their own self-care. The theory can be divided into three sub-theories: the theory of self-care, the theory of self-care deficit, and the theory of nursing systems (Tanaka, 2022).I
Healthcare We can compare the healthcare workplace to what is seen by a person when he/she looks through a kaleidoscope: since there are numerous different patterns that appear as the moments pass by. The shortage of nurses which has been publicized widely and the high turnover rates amongst the nurses are some of the unwanted patterns which have occurred. The dependence of healthcare institutions on the nurse-managers for the retention and
