Assignment: Nursing Theory Presentation – Sister Callista Roy Adaptation Theory
Assignment: Nursing Theory Presentation – Sister Callista Roy Adaptation Theory
A person is a bio-psycho-social being in constant interaction with a changing environment. He or she uses innate and acquired mechanisms to adapt. The model includes people as individuals, as well as in groups such as families, organizations, communities, and society as a whole” (in-text citation).
The Adaptation model states that health is an inevitable dimension of a person’s life, and is represented by a health-illness continuum. Health is also described as a state and process of being and becoming integrated and whole” (intext citation).
“The environment includes focal, contextual and residual stimuli.
?A focal stimulus is the confrontation with one’s internal and external stimuli. Nurses aim to manage the focal stimulus first, and then the contextual stimuli.
?The contextual stimuli are those other stimuli that contribute to the focal stimuli and affect the current situation.
?The residual stimuli are closed factors affecting the current situation. These are beliefs, behaviors and personal experiences. They originate from the past and affect the response to treatment” (intext citation).
“Roy’s model of nursing defined nursing as a science, and the adaptation of this scientific knowledge into the practice of nursing. According to RAM (Roy Adaptation Model), the purpose of nursing is to ensure adaptation.
Increasing adaptation during health and disease improves the interaction between the environment and human systems and thus improves health. Therefore, it contributes to health, quality of life and end of life care.
RAM also expressed specific activities distinguishing nursing from other disciplines as the nursing process. Roy proposed a problem solving approach in this process and explained this approach in five stages. These are “1. Assessment of behavior and stimuli, 2. Diagnosis, 3. Goal setting, 4. Planning, 5. Intervention and evaluation” (intext citation).
