A quasi-experimental study of the effect of teaching Orem's self-care model on nursing students' clinical performance and patient satisfaction.

Clinical performance evaluation mean score in the intervention group was significantly higher than that of the control group. However, patient satisfaction scores in both the control group and intervention group did not show statistically significant differences. Orem's self-care model showed a 23% improvement in students' performance. It is recommended to use Orem's self-care model for undergraduate courses, especially in clinical training.
