MAIN BODY
Recovery-oriented practice and different from the traditional medical model of care
Recovery-oriented practice is the one in which there is a total recovery of the patient in
all aspects in which person can live alone and can make their own decision in a better manner.
This is the one in which there are different aspects which are there for providing better care and
to get active in to build and able to maintain meaningful along with satisfactory life. There
should also be an improvement in mental illness and people can live their own. Term recovery-
oriented practice refers to the approach of mental health care which encompasses self-
determination principles along with personalized care. This is the one which includes partnership
relationship, social inclusion, emphasizes hopes, community participation (Nabitz, (2017)). This
is the one that promotes coaching in which some people have their life and experienced are said
to be experts on life and experience and the professionals who are their experts on treatment
services. This is the one which encourages person for self-management regarding their mental
and well-being. This one is also known for support people in relation to defining their wishes,
goals and aspirations. This one also encourages the holistic approach which addresses
employment, housing and social relationship.
In traditional medicine, there is high expectation regarding treatment and clinical
outcomes which don’t include recovery in each aspect. This only emphasizes treatment for any

medical condition. In this, there is the main focus on the treatment of symptoms and their
functioning which can not able to finish the health-related issues or medical disease. This
provides the only outcome of treatment that can lead to results about physical health which
doesn’t include the mental and emotional health of a person.
This one is different from the traditional medical model of care in which different
healthcare professionals like to provide different medicine and healthcare treatment for the
improvement in the health of a person and to provide physical and mental improvement.
Traditional models of care are different from recovery-oriented practices which are there able to
provide better care in all orientations which can lead to better recovery in all directions which
includes social and personal life (Adlin Bosk, (2017)).
Purpose and domain
In relation to mental health, the recovery concept refers to a unique process, personal
experience and journey Which are there for better recovery and well-being. This is the one that
can provide better care and facility which can lead to better recovery of a person in all aspects.
There are the different purpose of recovery-oriented practice which are there in the healthcare to
provide one of the best delivery of services in relation to improvement in the recovery process.
This is the one that can provide better care to a person in order to deliver better mental health
care and to help them in recovery. There are many purposes of recovery-oriented practice in
which one of the main purposes is to provide rich care and services to achieve the recovery of a
mental patient in all aspects. So, the person with mental health should get recover in such a
manner that to stay in society and other places in a better way like others. This can help them to
get self-determination, and to get confident in such a manner that they can take their
responsibility and there should no need for holistic care for that person (Babalola, (2017)).
There are different domains for which there are recovery-oriented practices. There is five
main domain of recovery model. This first domain is about promotion culture along with the
language of optimism and hope. Domain two is about the holistic care that can provide better
care and ensure the improvement regarding recovery. Domain three is regarding the supporting
personal skills which are there able to help in the recovery process in all aspects. Domain four is
regarding the commitment along with workforce development of an organization. Domain five is
regarding social inclusion and the determination of mental health and well-being.

Principles underlying Mental health Act (2014)
There are different principle which is there in the Mental health Act (2014) which are
going to be discussed further (Memon, (2018)).
Least restriction and maximizing independence- This is the one in which there is a
need to provide them better relaxation regarding different restrictions which are there able to
provide better and effective services. In this, there is the principle that there is a need to provide
maximum independence to Felicity about get early and effective recovery of them. This can help
them to think and do work in different ways that can enable them to improve their health. This is
the one where service providers need to reduce the restriction regarding patient's actions to get
better and effective recovery.
Empowerment and involvement- This is the one in which there is a need to provide
empowerment to them about using these for themselves. Involvement in the recovery practice
provides a high level of self-determination and satisfaction which can help patients to get easy
and early recovery when they get involved in different processes regarding their health practices
(Bergström & Aaltonen, (2018)).
Respect and dignity- This principle is there in the Mental health Act which says that
every person deserves respect and dignity. This can help them to get better and effective
treatment to provide better recovery-oriented practices. Patients with mental health deserve to be
treated with respect. The patient has their dignity to this, they are the ones who can feel about
their respect and dignity which can help them in better recovery.
Detention under the Act- This is the one in which there should not be any detention of a
patient with mental health until it does not appear that the person can be at risk for own or other
health and safety. In this, when any person with mental health disorder is there and there are high
chances of getting risk either for own or for others (Leonhardt, (2018)).
There are some of the principles which are there underlying in the mental health Act to
recovery-oriented practice.
Applying theories to practice
According to scenario 2, there is a need to apply different theories which need to be
implemented in practice in recovery-oriented practices. In this, there are three domains is chosen
which are like promoting a culture of hope, holistic and personalized care and focus on strength.

Promoting a culture of hope- As a nursing practitioner, I have learned and identified
different effects in attitudes and behaviors along with skills and knowledge which are there able
to provide different effect to the patient for better delivery of recovery-oriented service to
Felicity. She is the one who needs hope because due to the break-up she realized that no one
cares for her. In this, she can get depression or borderline personality disorder. This is the one in
which a person gets a change in way of thinking, there is no hope for them and thinks that it is
never going to good (Bergström, (2018)). In this situation, as a nursing health worker, I need to
care for her and to establish some good relations that can help me to get close to her. This can
help me to get the thought which she has in her mind and this can help me to convey my
practices and delivery of service which is high for hope. I need to provide her hope by positively
talking with her to get a better outcome in life. Felicity has disconnected from every activity
which she liked to perform and to show her hope I should deliver better connection and
relationship which can help her to get recover effectively and early. I need to share stories of a
different patient who get recovered to give her hope for recovery. I need to listen to her which
can help me to find out the way which can lead to her better recovery. This can help me to plan
and deliver a positive message to her for better hope which can lead to better recovery for her
(Haverkamp & Verweij, (2018)).
Holistic and personalized care- This is the one in which I need to provide care to
Felicity with mental health. In this, I need to provide person-centered care in which every
activity is seen and under health care professional from waking up to sleeping. In this, I need to
provide care to a person in which I need to stay with person to provide all day and night care to
better and effective recovery. I need to fulfill all the requirements which are regarding the health
and recovery of a person. I need to provide the care which they need according to circumstances.
I need to support him in her lifestyle to get internally happy that can lead to better and effective
recovery. I also need to let them chose their lifestyle which they like to live. I should support
people to fulfill vocational, educational and caring responsibilities. For a better recovery of
Felicity, I need to continue to focus on her activity which can help to get a better positive
outcome for her recovery. Holistic and personalized care can help Felicity to get the easy and
effective recovery that is from a borderline personality disorder (Krotofil, (2018)).
Focus on strength- Recovery-oriented approach is the one that can help to get emphasis
to build people's strength. This can help to get strong to this, this can help a person to get easy

and effectively recover from mental health. Strengthen-based practices can focus on supporting
along with building resources, strengths and ability to manage their life. I need to provide
strength to Felicity to get a better network and relationship which can lead to a better and
effective recovery of Felicity. I need to value their strength which can further develop their
resilience. I need to ask Felicity about her strength which they perform in a better and easy
manner. I should look after Felicity to provide a better and effective response for Felicity. To
apply the strength, I need to use review local policies that can help to understand the knowledge
about strengthen-based approaches. I need to help strengthen values and acknowledge better and
effective delivery. Different approaches should be applied by me to deliver better service for
Felicity's better recovery. To this, I should understand the situation of Felicity to deliver an
approach accordingly. This can highly help to get better and effective recovery for Felicity
(Hanlon, (2017)).
These are some of the recovery-oriented domains that can help to get better and effective
recovery for a person with mental health issues.
CONCLUSION
From the above discussion, it can be concluded that there are different specifications for
using the recovery-oriented practices of mental people. This can provide a better health benefit
for a patient with mental health and can get easy and effective recovery. In this, report there is a
discussion about theoretical understanding about recovery-oriented practice and differences from
the traditional medical care model. In this, there is a discussion about the purpose and domain of
recovery-oriented practices. There is a discussion about the principles in Mental Health Act to
recovery-oriented practices. There is also application of different theories to practice which can
help the nursing staff how to deliver service for better recovery as the outcome.
