INTRODUCTION
Person centred care basically involves that kind of treatment where the service users participates
actively in their own medical treatment. Health care professionals are closely involved in this
type of care (Ballantyne, 2017). Present report will include roper, Logan and Tierney model that
has been used for treating the patient. This model is based on assessment, diagnosis, planning,
intervention and evaluation.
MAIN BODY
Case study- Marry was a 75-year-old lady who was suffering from cardiovascular problem.
She has also been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes and high blood pressure. It has been analysed
that the old woman lived alone in an isolated area far from the city. She also consumed 2 packets
of cigars each and consume liquor on daily basis (Williams, 2015). She was also suffering from
anxiety and depression. She bears sleep-less nights and also was unable to communicate freely.
Roper, Logan and Tierney model- This model lays emphasis on that patient needs to be
provided with holistic care. It also involves patient equally in the treatment process. In order to
make health outcome of Marry better, nurse had make use of person-centred care. They have
provided service user with the utmost safety and comfort (Gilliland, 2015). As Marry is unable to
communicate freely health care professional will motivate and provide emotional support so that
she can easily tell her problems to them. This model also lays emphasis on providing evidence
based care, in which multi-disciplinary team can be involved to treat patient. Also for treating
anxiety and depression nurse has provided the patient with cognitive behavioural therapy. It can
assist Marry in modifying negative thoughts, behaviour and emotional responses attached to
every situation. Also health care professional will motivate Marry to be engaged in self-care and
reduce the consumption of alcohol and liquor. These procedures have been involved in Roper,
Logan and Tierney model (Holland and Jenkins, 2019). All these aspects will help service in
improving her health condition. Health care professional has also suggested her to engaged in
meditation or any other physical exercise. This will also assist Marry in overcoming the problem
of type 2 diabetes. It will help in improving her emotional and health wellbeing.
Rationale- The main reason for selecting Roper, Logan and Tierney model is that this
model lays emphasis on holistic based approach. It involves patient equally in the treatment
process. Also model lay focus on person centre approach (Williams, 2017). In this nurse used
