Full Description
The Roper-Logan-Tierney Model of Nursing (RLT model) supports nurses in taking a holistic approach to care by considering how an illness or injury affects an individual's psychological, social, economic and spiritual life. The RLT model has become synonymous with nursing practice and education and is widely used in health care worldwide.
