The author Joy Nugent was a pioneer in establishing a private nurse practice in home-based end-of-life care in 1987 in her hometown of Adelaide, South Australia in her midlife. She was inspired by Orem’s self-care deficit theory which suggests patients are better able to recover when they maintain some independence over their own self-care. The role of the nurse was to support the patient in their informed choices. This Self-Care Portfolio was guided by a handbook Joy read on Nursing Diagnosis. It became her assessment guide.Joy is passionate about integrating the emerging science of energy medicine with care of the physical body. This is reflected in her latest book, Live Well to Die Well - looking at all facets of a best possible life.
