Abstract

Introduction: Travelbee's person-to-person relationship model is one of the most useful models in the nursing field because it postulates how the relationship between nurse-patient can help improve health status and life satisfaction. Objective: To analyze the application of the Joyce Travelbee model in the personto-person relationship with older adults. Methodology: it is a quantitative, descriptive, cross-sectional study developed in the home for the elderly ¨Mons. Tomas Romero Gross” with a population of 115 older adults of both genders, data collection was carried out through a therapeutic relationship survey based on the Joyce Travelbee model. Results: In the original encounter dimension, most of the indicators were acceptable, as well as emerging identities. In the empathy, compassion and transference dimensions, the results were positive. Conclusion: the person-to-person relationship between the nurse and the older adult was good because most of the indicators were acceptable, which is positive because they demonstrate the existence of a relationship between both agents, however these levels of relationship must be improved to reach levels and thereby improve the assistance and care provided to this highly vulnerable population, in addition to improving the quality of life in recent years.
