Rehabilitation vs. Recovery Care Models

This assignment examines and compares two distinct care models in nursing: rehabilitation care and the recovery model. Rehabilitation care focuses on restoring functional abilities and helping patients regain self-sufficiency through medical intervention. The recovery model, particularly relevant for mental health, emphasizes patient empowerment, support networks, and personalized pathways to well-being. The paper outlines ten standards of the recovery model and illustrates its application through a case study of a 32-year-old woman with schizophrenia who successfully manages her condition through community support.
