title: The concept of 'self'.
abstract: As nurses we are familiar with the concept of 'self-care' as defined by Orem ( 2001 ) and Henderson and Nite ( 1978 ): people have a need to care for themselves. But when a disease or disability limits a person's independence, nurses could support the person to regain some control over their situation.
