This document summarizes Roy's Adaptation Model of nursing. It discusses the key concepts of the model including viewing individuals as biopsychosocial adaptive systems striving for balance. There are four main adaptation modes: physiological, self-concept, role function, and interdependence. The document then demonstrates how to apply the nursing process outlined in the model to assess a patient in cardiac care based on behaviors and stimuli in order to develop a nursing diagnosis, set goals, and implement interventions to promote adaptation.
