title: Complex health problems. Clinically assessing self-management abilities.
abstract: Assessment of self-care abilities by staff nurses is critical to planning post-hospitalization care. Assessment instruments must be comprehensive and yet usable by busy nurses. Orem's three categories of self-care deficits (universal, developmental, and therapeutic) provided a basis for the development of a Self-Management Inventory.
