The recovery model is a fundamental principle within the nursing realms since it guides decisions focusing on case administration. Concurrently, the agenda associated with long-term ailments equally magnifies nursing aspects. According to Snoddon (2010, p 63) the agenda for addressing long-term ailments ought to focus on continuous learning. As a nursing practitioner, I have addressed the needs of several clients with long-term ailments especially cancer. As such, continuous learning empowers one to acknowledge the biological progress of ailments. This means that it is simple to adapt the necessary care process within such stages. According to Meerabeau & Wright (2011, p 26), it is simple to determine vulnerability at a communal and psychosomatic level basing on such an agenda. According to Banning (2007, p 119), the care focusing on long-term afflictions accords the nursing professionals increased prescribing powers. An example pertains to the increased capability of nurses to offer counsel during the choice of the most feasible care process. As such, the agenda boosts the functional capacity of the medical industry. Furthermore, Banning (2007, p 120) highlights that such an agenda makes it simple to adopt a social care process. This enhances the determination and transformation of the societal organization process. Breenda and Beech (2005, p 166) indicates that the agenda makes it simple to acknowledge the changing and complex needs of the concerned clientele. During my nursing ventures, I stuck to the provisions of the agenda. Consequently, I noticed that the designers provided sufficient opportunity to learn the dynamic nature of care needs whilst considering persons with extended ailments. An example pertains to cancer, which presents dissimilar psychological and social challenges to the patients (Cooper 2011 p 8). This condition is comprehensible using the agenda.
According to Repper and Perkins (2003, p 1) the successful utilization of the recovery model is dependent on the expertise of professionals that may arise from experience. During my career with mentally challenged persons, I have acknowledged that application of care strategies arises from evidence. Often, this becomes manifest when professionals comprehend the psychosomatic and societal environment. According to Austin & Boyd (2010 p 196), the recovery model is versatile since it offers opportunities to deal with mental concerns in a non-standard way. Indeed, it is detrimental to focus on old approaches regardless of their suitability since a patient’s background posits diverse challenges (Ramon, Healy & Renouf 2007, p 108). It is further evident that the recovery process may not be linear as evident in the incorporation of human privileges and needs. This means that a professional ought to draw his insight from the changes in the societal mindset of an individual. Austin & Boyd (2010 p 196) further indicate that recovery is subject to an individual’s willpower thus the need to acknowledge the influence of the environment on the psychological status of the patients. Hannigan and Coffey (2003, p 256) highlight that the recovery model is instrumental in offering significance and purpose. As such, it appropriate to establish the needs of patients with the intention of establishing how they m match with the meaning of the recovery model. Often, I deal with patients with diverse objectives that become manifest during the recovery process. It is thus fundamental to streamline their objectives, which are construed by environmental and societal forces (Pryjmachuk 2011 p 26). Indeed, the recovery model provides a platform for acknowledging the need of diverse populations.
