Abstract EN
Orem’s self-care model is a nursing model that was introduced with the purpose of improving the self-care of individuals, especially patients suffering from chronic diseases.
Objectives: To determining the effect of Orem’s self-care model on fatigue in multiple sclerosis patients.
Patients and Methods: This research involved a clinical trial.
Sixty-three multiple sclerosis patients at the vice-chancellor in treatment affairs of Yasuj University of Medical Sciences were selected based on nonrandom sampling, but they were allocated to the two groups based on random allocation.
In the intervention group, Orem’s model was applied during six sessions of 45 - 60 minutes in length, and the process continued for 1 month.
The data were collected 1 week before and 7 weeks after the end of the intervention using the Orem’s self-care model-based assessment form and fatigue severity scale, the validity and reliability of which have been Results: Before the intervention, 11.11% of the participants had a good knowledge of self-care.
In addition, self-care willingness and skills were observed in 76.19% and 4.76% of participants, respectively.
The mean difference in fatigue reduced significantly in the intervention group after the intervention (P < 0.05).
After the intervention, a statistically significant difference was observed in the mean difference of fatigue between the two groups (P < 0.05).
