Roy
Adaptation
Model
Assist. Prof. Dr. Charuwan Kritpracha

2. Who is Roy?

3. Born on October 14. 1939 in Los Angeles, California
At age 14, she began working at a large general
hospital first as a pantry girl then as a maid and finally
a nurse’s aid.
In 1963, she earned a Bachelor of Arts Degree in
Nursing from Mount St.Mary’s college in Los Angeies.
In 1966, she earned a Master’s Degree in Pediatric
Nursing from the University of California.
In 1973, she earned a Master’s Degree in Sociology
and went on to complete a doctoratal Degree in
Socialogy in 1977.
Roy has been a Sister of St Joseph of Carondelet for
more than 50 years.
Sister Callista Roy, PhD, RN, FAAN
(Phillip, 2010)

4. Major influences
Roy credits her family religious
commitment and her teacher and
mentors as her major influences.
Roy claims a spirit of faith
hope love and commitment to God
and service to others was central to
her family life.
Her mother was a licensed
vocational nurse and instilled the
values of always seeking to know
more about people and their care and
of selfless giving as a nurse.

5. Stimulus for Theory Development
Roy’s Adaptation Model - Grand Nursing Theory
She believed nurses need to be flexible in order to provide the best care for their
patients. Each patient is different and should be cared for based on the individual
needs of that particular patient (Tiedeman, M. E., 2006).
In 1964, when Roy was a graduate student, she was challenged by
a nursing faculty member Dorothey E. Johnson
[Behavioral Systems Nursing Theorist] to develop a conceptual
model for nursing practice (Tiedeman, M. E., 2006).
While working as a pediatric nurse, Roy observed the resiliency
of children and noted their ability to adapt to the physical and
psychological changes they were experiencing
(Tiedeman, M. E., 2006).

6. Abstract
Sister Callista Roy created the Adaptation Model.
This model focuses on both physiological adaptations of
nurses and patients enviornments (Roy&Orem, 2016).
Roy’s goal is for promotion of adaptation through her four
adaptation modes thereby contributing to the person’s
health quality of life and dying with dignity (Roy & Andrews,
1999).

7. Central Theme
The adaption model’s conceptual framework is
focused on the interconnected holistic individual
and his/her interaction with the environment.
Adaptation is the outcome observed when
responses to environmental changes are positively
experienced.
Roy’s model sees the individual as a set of
interrelated systems (biological, psychological and
social). The individual strives to maintain a balance
between these systems and the outside world
(Roy & Andrews, 1999).

Assess of patient’s behaviors in the context of four
adaptive modes
Assess the stimuli for those behaviors and categorize
them as a focal, contextual, and residual stimuli
Make a statement or nursing diagnosis of the patient’s
adaptive status

Set goals to promote the patient’s adaptation
Implement intervention aimed at managing the stimuli
to promote adaptation and improving coping abilities
Evaluate whether the adaptive goals have been met

15. What’s
Problem?

16. Anorexia nervosa

17. Case study
Annie is 19 years old female, single, and
white patient
Diagnosed anorexia nervosa 2 years ago
Admitted in the hospital 3 times
short-term residential and partial
hospitalization programs

18. On admission, she weight 45.13 kg, height 1.63 m
and a BMI of 17.1 kg/m2
She believed that limiting her calorie intake and
exercising too much can help to control her negative
emotions successfully
Her father : a partner at a law firm and
work 90+ hours/week
Her mother : worked in finance and
become part-time
Case study

19. What’s the patient’s problem?
The patient’s problem
becomes from inefficient
behavioral responses in
all 4 modes of adaptation
The major problem of the
patient is self-assessment
(body shape and body
weight over evaluation)

How to providing
Nursing care to
patient?

25. 1. Physiological mode
- Supervise the patient during
mealtimes and for a specified period
after meals
- Monitor food and calories
intake
- Provide smaller meals and
supplemental snacks as appropriate
- Monitor body weight by
measuring once a week
- Correct imbalances in fluid
electrolytes and nutrition

26. 2. Self-concept mode
- Assess and check the severity
of over evaluation of body shape
and body weight
- Discuss about how body shape
and body weight over evaluation
affected self-concept and
treatment
- Participate with the patient to
set increasing goals to dare over
evaluation of body shape and body
weight

27. 3. Role function mode
- Assess perception of
autonomy and self-control
feeling
- Participate with the
patient to improve goals to
autonomy
- Provide an opportunity
to promote the feeling of
control

28. 4. Interdependence mode
- Assess and monitor difficulty
controlling her emotions
- Participate with the patient
about difficulty controlling her
emotions on the process of weight
recovery
- Motivate and encourage social
support to help the patient develop
relationship with other patients
