title: [Application of the Orem theory of self help to adolescents in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis].
abstract: The Orem's Self-Care Theory was used as a guide for a nursing care plan of a 16 year-old adolescent with renal failure in continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialyses (CAPD). The theory was used to assess the self-care deficits, the ability of the family to meet the patient's self-care demands, and the nursing actions needed in this case. Conditioning factors such as motivation, social economic status and education greatly interfered on the ongoing process of self-care.
