This work aimed at the application of Nursing appointments to an hypertensive woman based on Orem's Theory, and at the identification of her degree of satisfaction in committing herself to self-care. The appointments were applied monthly for six months to fifty women. At every appointment, an evaluation was made on self-care deficit and on the abilities women showed to develop self-care activities. Most women overcame their self-care deficits, and acquired technical and cognitive abilities to perform self-care activities, falling into a profile that is desirable for improving quality of life. These changes were intensified at each appointment. Evidence showed that the application of this new technology brings highly positive influences to clients and assures quality in the Nursing services provided.
