ZARAZA MORALES, Daniel Ricardo  y  CONTRERAS MORENO, Jeffersson Ricardo. The Mental Health Recovery Model and Its Importance for Colombian Nursing. rev.colomb.psiquiatr. [online]. 2020, vol.49, n.4, pp.305-310.  Epub 20-Feb-2021. ISSN 0034-7450.  https://doi.org/10.1016/j.rcp.2018.10.002.

The article aims to describe the Mental Health Recovery Model, the Tidal Model in Mental Health Recovery and their relevance to implementation within the practice of Colombian nursing. Some concepts about mental health recovery and the theoretical model proposed by Phil Barker are presented in the text, analysing these with the challenges of the nursing professional to improve mental health care, taking into account the current context of care practice. The principles proposed with the Recovery model help to focus care on the person and not on the symptomatology of the illness, understanding that the person has different dimensions which make it possible for him/her to explore his/her own path to recovery. We can conclude that, through the theory, we can develop interventions and nursing activities that contribute to improving the quality of life of people who have been diagnosed with a mental illness, modifying the traditional healthcare models.
