6 BRIEF RESUME OF THE INTENDED WORK : INTRODUCTION : Self-care refers to those activities an individual performs independently throughout life to promote and maintain personal well-being. Orem’s self- care deficit theory explains not only when Nursing is needed but also how people can be assisted through five methods of helping, acting or doing for, guiding, teaching, supporting & providing an environment that promotes the individuals abilities to meet current & future demands1. Self-care means the individuals themselves handle the activities to present disease, to promote health, limit illness and restore functioning. By definition, a self-care deficit causes an alteration in ability to perform activities of daily living. In a culture that values independence, the inability to perform personal care tasks for oneself has significant psychological and physical implications2. In nursing self care is believed to be corner stone of the health promotion and the major nursing goal is to encourage. The nurse should foster self care in patients by providing information about nutrition, sleep, exercise, stress management, sexuality, psychological wellbeing, personal safety and environment management. In the hospital setting orthopedic patients stay in long duration and lack in personal hygiene and self-care activities 6.1 NEED FOR THE STUDY Most of the orthopedic patients are bedridden and of chronic type. They need long term care in the wards, but lack in personal hygiene nutrition, exercises, sleep etc. some of them are immobilized and they lack in knowledge of self care and intern affects their physical and mental health. The knowledge of self-care equip them to adjust to their surroundings and achieve optimum level of health. After hip Fracture and surgical repair, the client is likely to experience some degree of self care deficit in hygiene and dressing limited mobility may decrease independence in self-care and assistive devices may be required3. The orthopedic patient suffer with malnutrition, depression, insomnia, stress and pressure sores. So these problems can be prevented by providing sufficient knowledge and health education in self care. There is urgent need for the empowerment of knowledge through nursing staff in the ward. Patients have the right to participant in decisions regarding their health care plan and responsibility to participate to the extent possible in implementing it. Every patient has the having right to make appropriate arrangement to allow wellness healthcare to deliver, set up, and offer training on prescribed self-care techniques.

6.2 REVIEW OF LITERATURE The purpose for review of literature is to obtain comprehensive knowledge base and in depth of information from previous studies.

This is a prospective cross section survey study on sleep disturbance in patients with chronic low back pain of 268 patients in the hospital setting, the survey consisted 43 item questionnaries the Pittsburgh sleep quality index

(PSQOI) a pain visual analog scale (VAS) and questions regarding bed type, sleep position and patients sleep description results reveal that there was significant relationship between sleep with a 55% increase in proportion of subjects reporting restless after pain onset, chronic low back pain significantly effects quality of sleep. Sleep problems should be addressed as an integral part of pain management plan4.

A descriptive study on preventing pressure ulcers : A systematic review conducted in 2006. Date sources and study selection from Medline, Embase and Cinahl, cohranne database searched to identify relevant randomized controlled trails (RCTs), 59 RCTs selected and grouped into 3 categories, impairment in mobility, nutrition or skin health, effective strategies that addressed impaired mobility included the use of support surfaces, mattress overlays on operating tables and surfaces, mattress overlays. There is a need for well designed RCTs that follow standard criteria for reporting non- pharmacological interventions and that provided data on cost effectiveness for these interventions5.

An experimental study on empowering orthopedic patients through pre admission education result for a clinical study conducted in 2006, 123 elective hip orthroplasty patients grouped by random method group A (n=62) who received pre admission education as the concept map method written education material, & group B (n=61) who received the educational material non-systematic oral education. Data collected from both groups 4 wks prior to hospital admission, at admission and at discharge using questionnaries

Preadmission education using the concept map methods and written education material seems to yield better learning results than the use of written education material with non systematic oral education. Empowering preadmission education using concept method is beneficial for patients6.

A descriptive comparative cross sectional study (Pre and post test) on ambulatory orthopedic surgery patient knowledge expectations and perceptions of received from 120 consecutive patients, using hospital patient’s knowledge expectations scale and hospital patients received knowledge scale.

All patients participated in pre operative education. Session given by nurse patients knowledge expectation are greater than the knowledge they perceived that they receive, and they cannot become empowered if they lack imp.

Knowledge. Further research is needed to learn about meeting patients knowledge expectations7.

The descriptive study of on preoperative education for orthopaedic patients ; systematic review conducted in 2003. Studies included 1044 adult orthopedic patients based on randomised controlled or clinical trials. The education based on written materials and with other teaching methods. The most common outcome measures related to pain, knowledge, anxiety, exercises, length of stay and the least common to self efficiency and empowerment. The review clearly high lights the need for well designed, methodologically sound research into the out comes of patient education. It also points to the need to study patient education. From the point of view of empowerment8.

A descriptive study on written patient education. Materials from the point of view of empowerment by education in 2002. 25 orthopedic patients selected this study. An analytics frame work was developed by panel of nursing scientists and clinical experts. The patient education materials evaluated. They are well prepared, but much was left to be desired with regard to contents and instructiveness. Development needs to focus on making better use of methods of visual representation; on increasing the coverage of content areas that so far have received less attention liked social experimental, ethical and financial empowerment9.

A descriptive study on spinal cord injury and emotional problems

The research approach adopted is descriptive, co-relational survey. 31 spinal cord injury (SCI) patients in in-patients units of two selected hospitals in Delhi included in the study. Amritsar Depressive inventory developed by

Singh et al (1974) to asses depression. Data shows that SCI patients severly depressed 61.3%, 16% were probably depressed 22.5% were not depressed. The findings of study suggest that SSI patient were markedly anxious and depressed.

The existing health services have emphasized on physical health.

Psychologicl aspect of the health has been neglected. Nurses should participate in providing holistic health care and in rehabilitation of SCI patients by early detection of emotional problems and by taking individual, need based timely intervention to reduce these problems.11
