Origin of Roy’s Adaptation
Model
Early development of the model began in 1964 as a
graduate student.
Roy was challenged by her nursing instructor, Dorothy E.
Johnson, to develop a conceptual model for nursing practice.
In 1970 Sister Callista Roy presented a conceptual framework for her model, while developing curriculum for nursing students
In 1976, the first edition of , “Introduction to Nursing: An
Adaptation Model”, appeared.
The second edition to this model appeared in 1984, so to be updated again in 1999 (Chitty & Black, 2011, p. 313).
