Roy’s adaptation model serves as a useful tool to help nurses critically think about and respond to various situations (Diaz & Cruz, 2017).

This theory can help professional nurses gain a greater understanding of the various factors that can influence individual outcomes and develop specialized interventions to best suit different areas of need.

The four concepts of nursing’s metaparadigm according to Roy’s Theory of Adaptation are defined as:

Person: An adaptive system constantly exposed to internal and external stimuli.

Nursing: The science and practice that expands a person’s adaptive abilities and enhances environment positive transformation.

Health: A state and a process of being and becoming a cohesive individual.

Environment: The source of stimuli that can either threaten or promote the individual.

Sister Callista Roy’s Model of Adaptation is a grand nursing theory.

The Adaptation model views the individual as an adaptive system that is constantly changing in repose to various stimuli.

The individual either adapts to the stimuli or copes ineffectively.

In Roy’s adaptation model, nurses are facilitators of adaption.

(Hanna & Roy, 2001)
