ROY’S THEORY

PRESENTED BY-

ASHOK KUMAR SAINI

Sister callista Roy born on October 14,
1939. she earned a Bachelor of Arts
with a major in nursing from Mount St.
Mary's College, Los Angeles in 1963.And
in 1966, a master's degree program in
pediatric nursing at the University of
California. In 1973 She was awarded an
MA in sociology and in 1977 a doctorate
in nursing education from university of
California.
 

INTRODUCTION
in 1966 She joined the faculty of
Mount St. Mary's College,
teaching both pediatric and
maternity nursing. she described
the nature of nursing as a
service to society and this
prompted her developed model
with the goal of promoting
adaptating in nursing.

INFLUENCING FACTORS IN
DEVELOPMENT OF THEORY:-
•A theory is a set of related
statements that describes or
explains phenomena in a
systemic way.

THEORY:-
•
A nursing theory is a set of concepts,
“

definitions, relationships & assumptions or

propositions derived from nursing models
or from other disciplines and project a
purposive, systematic view of phenomena
by designing specific inter-relationships
among concepts for the purpose of
describing, explaining, predicting, and/or
prescribing.”
Nursing theory:-
System:-
A system is a set of units so related or
connected as to form a unity or whole and
characterized by input, outputs, and control
and feedback processes.’
Adaptation level:-
A person’s adaptation level is ‘a constantly
changing point , made up of focal ,
contextual, and residual stimuli, which
represent his own standard of the range of
stimuli to which one can respond with
ordinary adaptive responses.”

CONT…..
Focal stimulus:-
A local stimulus is “the degree of change or
stimulus most immediately confronting the
person and the one to which the person must
make an adaptive response that is the factor
that precipitates the behavior,”
Regulator:-
A regulator is a “subsystem coping mechanism
which responds automatically through neural-
chemical-endocrine processes.”
Cognator:-
A cognator is a “subsystem coping mechanism
which

CONT…..
responds through complex processes
of perception and information
processing learning judgment and
emotion.”
Adaptive (Effector) Modes:-
Adaptive modes are a “classification
of ways of coping that manifest
regulator and cognator activity, that
is ,physiological, self-concept role
function, and interdependence.”

CONT…..
The purpose of this model is
directed toward promoting
adaptation in each of the four
response made , there by
contributing to the person’s
health, quality of life and dying
with dignity. Nursing care is then
directed at helping the client
adapt
PURPOSE OF THE MODEL:-
Development of Theory:-
PHILOSOPHICAL ASSUMPTIONS:-
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
SCIENTIFIC ASSUMPTIONS:-
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
Human 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 relations
Person and environment transformations are
created in human consciousness
Integration of human and environment meanings
results in adaptation
METHODS OF ADAPTATION MODEL:-
itis four methods that:-
Input
Control process
Effectors
Output
Stimuli adaptation level
Input:-

Roy views the regulator and cognator as

methods of coping. Perception of the person
links the regulator with the cognator in that
”input input the regulator is transformed into
perception. Perception is a process of the
cognator .the responses following perception are
feedback into both the cognator and regulator.”
Control process:-
The four adaptive modes of the second
subsystem in roy’s model provide form of
cognator and regulator activity. Responses to
stimuli are carried out through these four
modes. The mode’s purpose is to achieve
physiological, psychological, and social integrity
Interrelated propositions of the cognator and
regulator subsystem link the systems of the
adaptive modes.
Effectors:-
These subsystems the regulator, cognator, and
the form a complex system for the purpose of
adaptation. Relationships between the four
adaptive modes occur when internal and
external stimuli affect more then one mode.
When one mode becomes the focal, contextual,
or residual stimulus for another mode.
Output:-
The person is an adaptive system inputs
include three classes of stimuli (focal,
contextual and residual)
that arise from within the person and the
external environment and adaptation level is
fluid, is composed of all three classes of
stimuli, and represents the persons standard
or range of stimuli in which response will be
adaptive.
USE OF ADAPTATION MODEL IN
NURSING:-
Scientific knowledge for practice.
Clinical assessment and intervention.
Research variables.
Guide nursing practice.
Organize nursing education.
Curricular framework for various nursing
colleges
Concepts of Roy Adaptation Model
in context with metaparadigm:-
Person:- An adaptive system described as
a whole comprised of parts Functions as a
units for some purpose Includes people as
individuals or in groups-families,
organizations, communities, and society as
a whole .and Uses innate and acquired
mechanisms to adapt.
Environment:- The Focal - internal or
external and immediately confronting the
person that All, conditions circumstances,
and. influences surrounding and affecting
the development and behavior of persons of
the groups, including focal, contextual and
residual stimuli
Health :- Inevitable dimension of person's
life, Represented by a health-illness
continuum, A state and a process of being and
becoming integrated and whole
Nursing:- To promote adaptation in the four
adaptive modes and To promote adaptation
for individuals and groups in the four adaptive
modes thus contributing to health, quality of
life, and dying with dignity by assessing
behaviors and factors that influence adaptive
abilities and by intervening to enhance
environmental interactions
The implication of nursing process:-
RAM offers guidelines to nurse in
developing the nursing process that
six steps:-
First level assessment
Second level assessment
Diagnosis
Goal setting
Intervention
evaluation
