Sister Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model
Abstract
The following paper introduces the Roy Adaptation Model. The paper begins with describing the model and introduces Sister Callista Roy, the publisher. A background on the Roy nursing model is given in context to Sister Callista Roy’s education along with her credited influences that help to give rise to the model. The paper goes in detail to explain the components of the model including the four major concepts: humans as adaptive systems, environment, health, and the goal of nursing; two sub systems: the regulator and cognator subsystems; and four adaptive modes: physiological – physical, self-concept-group identity, role function, and interdependence. Throughout the next section the strengths of the model are discussed which include aspects of the model’s ability to adapt and evolve to our changing times, the inclusion of the whole person or group; and limitations of the model that are discussed include the lack of consistent definitions for the concepts and terms within the Roy Adaptation Model, and time constraints encountered. The paper ends with the application of the Roy Adaptation Model to a clinical area of the nursing practice.
Sister Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model
The Nursing Model
In 1970, Sister Callista Roy proposed the Roy Adaptation Model. Callista Roy defined adaptation as “the process and outcome whereby thinking and feeling persons, as individuals or in groups, use conscious awareness and choice to create human and environmental integration” (Roy & Andrews, 1999, p. 30). Adaptation occurs as a result to a positive response a person has to changes in their surrounding environments. This is also the process and outcome in which the use of self-reflection, conscious awareness, and choice creates human and environmental integration. A person’s background, religion, education, family, mentors, and clinical experience all influenced the Adaptation Model and helped
