Aim: To evaluate the effect of care provided using “Orem Self-Care Model" on postpartum dependent care among primiparous mothers. Methodology: A quasi-experimental design was conducted in this study at postpartum unit of obstetrics and gynecology department in Port Said city at Women's Health House Hospital (previously named Specialized Women and Obstetrics Hospital (affiliated to Egypt health care authority hospitals in Port Said). A purposive sample of 200 pregnant women was utilized. Three tools were utilized for data collection, a structured interviewing questionnaire, knowledge questionnaire form and Orem`s Self-Care Guidelines Checklist. Results: At the post-intervention phase, the women in the study group had more adequate knowledge in comparison with those in the control group. Also, a statistically significant difference the women in the study group had more satisfactory self-care practices in comparison with those in the control group. This was evident in all areas about self-care practices (p=<0.001*). Conclusion: The results of the study showed how well the early self-care education program worked and how it helped the women become better at adjusting to motherhood regarding self-care practices. The findings also showed that, following the educational program, there was a statistically significant difference between the study and control groups' mean self-evaluation scores of self-care practices regarding universal self-care requirements, developmental self-care requests, and health deviation self-care (P-value < 0.001).
