The Roper, Logan and Tierney Model in Action

Human physiological and psychosocial behaviour essential to maintain life underpins Roper et al's activities of living model. Examples of these activities are breathing, eating, personal cleansing, learning, working, playing. Originating in Britain, the model stresses continual patient assessment, facilitation of the patient's normal activities of living and individualised care.
