Introduction
The Roper, Logan and Tierney nursing care model is based on day to day activities of
individuals. Activities of living encourage independence through evaluation in areas where is
it impossible for an individual on their own. Promoting individual independence is vital in
person-centered care. As this theory mainly concentrates on promoting individual
independence it will help me in the future while providing person-centered care to the
patients. The activities of living to compare the potential for independence and individual's
independence and to determine what interventions are necessary to increase independence
and what support is needed to compensate dependency. The theory can be applied by me as
the approach to resolve the problem and as the tool to support improvement in patient health
and challenges (Cutcliffe, McKenna & Hyrkäs, 2010). This model is helpful in providing
effective care by examining patient's needs, patient's specific preferences and abilities. The
biological, psychological, sociocultural, environmental and politico-economic factors are
used to determine relative independence of an individual's. In biological factor, the overall
health and anatomy are considered which is important to me in future professional life as a
nursing professional. For example, while offering person-centered care it should be kept in
mind that nutritional activities are different in diabetic and nondiabetic patients. In
psychological factor emotions, beliefs and ability to understand are taken into consideration
(Boykin & Schoenhofer, 2014). While offering person-centered care it should be kept in
mind that lack of literacy also impacts independence in health promotion. As a nursing
professional, offering person-centered care, I should keep in mind the societies expectations
from a person and the impact of those expectations on the health and ability to carry out
activities daily.
Description
I have learned that while offering person-centered care, elements of the model has to be taken
care of. I had used the information of the model while giving the person-centered care to the
patients. I have carried out the healthcare delivery care services on the basis of patient centred
care. In a biological factor, the patients' overall health and anatomy are considered. In person-
centered care, the case of the individual patient is taken into account and specialized
treatment is provided to the patient as per his needs (Williams, 2017). The Roper, Logan and
Tierney model of nursing care has mainly focused on the activities of daily living. The model
