Application of Betty Neumann’s system model

The client with depression may have various stressors:

These stressors are able to produce negative effect on client.
They may affect the client’s intrapersonal, interpersonal and extra personal aspects.
These stressors are dependent on the defense mechanism of client.
These stressors can also bring positive way for the client.

There are three lines of defense in human while undergoing through any stress:

Flexible line of Defense: In this the client or health care can use primary prevention for avoiding client to go in depression.
Normal line of Defense: Here the secondary prevention comes into action.
Lines of resistance: Here the tertiary prevention is applied (Figure 1).
