============================================================

INTRODUCTION

  • Born at Los Angeles on October 14, 1939 as the 2nd child of Mr. and Mrs. Fabien Roy.

  • At age 14 she began working at a large general hospital, first as a pantry girl, then as a maid, and finally as a nurse's aid.

  • She entered the Sisters of Saint Joseph of Carondelet.

  • she earned a Bachelor of Arts with a major in nursing from Mount St. Mary's College, Los Angeles in 1963.

  • a master's degree program in pediatric nursing at the University of California ,Los Angeles in 1966.

  • She also earned a master’s & PhD in Sociology in 1973 & 1977 ,respectively

  • Sr. Callista had the significant opportunity of working with Dorothy E. Johnson

  • Johnson's work with focusing knowledge for the discipline of nursing convinced Sr. Callista of the importance of describing the nature of nursing as a service to society and prompted her to begin developing her model with the goal of nursing being to promote adaptation.

ASSUMPTIONS OF ROY’S ADAPTATION MODEL

Scientific

  • Systems of matter and energy progress to higher levels of complex self-organization

  • Consciousness and meaning are constitutive of person and environment integration

  • Awareness of self and environment is rooted in thinking and feeling

  • Humans by their decisions are accountable for the integration of creative processes

  • Thinking and feeling mediate human action

  • System relationships include acceptance, protection, and fostering of interdependence

  • Persons and the earth have common patterns and integral relationships

  • Persons and environment transformations are crated in human consciousness

  • Integration of human and environment meanings results in adaptation

Philosophical

  • Persons have mutual relationships with the world and God

  • Human meaning is rooted in an omega point convergence of the universe

  • God is intimately revealed in the diversity of creation and is the common destiny of creation

  • Persons use human creative abilities of awareness, enlightenment, and faith

  • Persons are accountable for the processes of deriving, sustaining, and transforming the universe

PERSONS AND RELATING PERSONS

  • An adaptive system with coping processes

  • Described as a whole comprised of parts

  • Functions as a unity for some purpose

  • Includes people as individuals or in groups (families, organizations, communities, nations, and society as a whole)

  • An adaptive system with cognator and regulator subsystems acting to maintain adaptation in the four adaptive modes: physiologic-physical, self-concept-group identity, role function, and interdependence.

ENVIRONMENT

  • All conditions, circumstances, and influences surrounding and affecting the development and behavior of persons and groups with particular consideration of mutuality of person and earth resources

  • Three kinds of stimuli: focal, contextual, and residual

  • Significant stimuli in all human adaptation include stage of development, family, and culture

HEALTH AND ADAPTATION

  • Health: a state and process of being and becoming integrated and whole that reflects person and environmental mutuality

  • Adaptation: the process and outcome whereby thinking and feeling persons, as individuals and in groups, use conscious awareness and choice to create human and environmental integration

  • Adaptive Responses: responses that promotes integrity in terms of the goals of the human system, that is, survival, growth, reproduction, mastery, and personal and environmental transformation

  • Ineffective Responses: responses that do not contribute to integrity in terms of the goals of the human system

  • Adaptation levels represent the condition of the life processes described on three different levels: integrated, compensatory, and compromised

NURSING

  • Nursing is the science and practice that expands adaptive abilities and enhances person and environment transformation

  • Nursing goals are to promote adaptation for individuals and groups in the four adaptive modes, thus contributing to health, quality of life, and dying with dignity

  • This is done by assessing behavior and factors that influence adaptive abilities and by intervening to expand those abilities and to enhance environmental interactions

ROY ADAPTATION MODEL (RAM) –TERMS

  • System-a set of parts connected to function as a whole for some purpose.

  • Stimulus-something that provokes a response, point of interaction for the human system and the environment

  • Focal Stimuli-internal or external stimulus immediately affecting the system

  • Contextual Stimulus-all other stimulus present in the situation.

  • Residual Stimulus-environmental factor, that effects on the situation that are unclear.

  • Regulator Subsystem-automatic response to stimulus (neural, chemical, and endocrine)

  • Cognator Subsystem-responds through four cognitive responds through four cognitive-emotive channels (perceptual and information processing, learning, judgment, and emotion)

  • Behavior -internal or external actions and reactions under specific circumstances

Physiologic-Physical Mode

  • Behavior pertaining to the physical aspect of the human system

  • Physical and chemical processes

  • Nurse must be knowledgeable about normal processes

  • 5 needs (Oxygenation, Nutrition, Elimination, Activity & Rest, and Protection)

Self Concept-Group Identity Mode

  • The composite of beliefs and feelings held about oneself at a given time. Focus on the psychological and spiritual aspects of the human system.

  • Need to know who one is, so that one can exist with a state of unity, meaning, and purposefulness of 2 modes (physical self, and personal self)

Role function Mode

  • Set of expectations about how a person occupying one position behaves toward a occupying another position. Basic need-social integrity, the need to know who one is in relation to others

Interdependence Mode

  • Behavior pertaining to interdependent relationships of individuals and groups. Focus on the close relationships of people and their purpose.

  • Each relationship exists for some reason. Involves the willingness and ability to give to others and accept from others.

  • Balance results in feelings of being valued and supported by others. Basic need - feeling of security in relationships

Adaptive Responses-promote the integrity of the human system.

Ineffective Responses-neither promote not contribute to the integrity of the human system

Copping Process-innate or acquired ways innate or of interacting with the changing of environment

NURSING PROCESS

A problem solving approach for gathering data, identifying the capacities and needs of the human adaptive system, selecting and implementing approaches for nursing care, and evaluation the outcome of care provided

Assessment of Behavior: the first step of the nursing process which involves gathering data about the behavior of the person as an adaptive system in each of the adaptive modes.

Assessment of Stimuli: the second step of the nursing process which involves the identification of internal and external stimuli that are influencing the person’s adaptive behaviors.

Stimuli are classified as:

1) Focal- those most immediately confronting the person,

2) Contextual-all other stimuli present that are affecting the situation and

3) Residual- those stimuli whose effect on the situation are unclear.

Nursing Diagnosis: step three of the nursing process which involves the formulation of statements that interpret data about the adaptation status of the person, including the behavior and most relevant stimuli

Goal Setting: the forth step of the nursing process which involves the establishment of clear statements of the behavioral outcomes for nursing care.

Intervention: the fifth step of the nursing process which involves the determination of how best to assist the person in attaining the established goals

Evaluation: the sixth and final step of the nursing process which involves judging the effectiveness of the nursing intervention in relation to the behavior after the nursing intervention in comparison with the goal established.
