Sister Callista Roy Flashcards
What did Sister Callista Roy developed?
Adaptation Model of Nursing
(True or False) The Adaptation Model states that health is an inevitable dimension of a person’s life and is represented by a health-illness continuum.
True
According to Sister Callista Roy, the environment has three components. What are these?
Focal
Contextual
Residual
It is internal or external and immediately confronts the person
Focal
all stimuli present in the situation that all contribute to the effect of the focal stimulus
Contextual
Whose effects in the current situation
are unclear.
Residual
She is considered among nursing’s great living
thinkers

What are the Four Adaptive Modes of Roy’s Adaptation Model?
physiologic needs
self-concept
role function
interdependence.
It is 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.”
Adaptation
(True or False) In the adaptation model, humans are holistic, adaptive systems.
True
What is the goal of nursing in the adaptation model?
to promote modes of adaptation that support overall health.
What are the levels of adaptation?
Integrated Process
Compensatory Process
Compromised Process
A level of adaptation that are usually stable processes (e.g., breathing,
spiritual realization, successful relationship)
Integrated Process
A level of adaptation in which the cognator and regulator are challenged by the needs of the
environment, but are working to meet the needs (e.g., grief, starting with a new job, compensatory breathing).
Compensatory Process
A level of adaptation in which the modes and subsystems are not adequately meeting the
environmental challenge (e.g., hypoxia, unresolved loss, abusive relationships)
Compromised Process
(True or False) Based on Roy, humans are holistic beings that are in constant interaction with
their environment.
True
It is defined as conditions, circumstances, and influences that affect the development and behavior of humans as an adaptive system
Environment
(True or False) Stimuli can only be positive.
False.
These stimuli can be positive or negative.
It is defined as the state where humans can continually adapt to stimuli.
Health
If a human can continue to adapt holistically, they will be able to maintain health to reach completeness and unity within themselves. If they cannot adapt accordingly, the integrity of the person can be affected negatively.
In Adaptation Model, who are the facilitators of adaptation?
Nurses.
Nurses eliminate ineffective coping mechanisms and eventually lead to better
outcomes.
“Human systems have thinking and feeling capacities, rooted in consciousness and meaning, by which they adjust effectively to changes in
the environment and, in turn, affect the environment.”
Person
“The conditions, circumstances and influences surrounding and affecting the development and behavior of persons or groups, with particular consideration of the mutuality of person and health resources that includes focal, contextual
and residual stimuli.”
Environment
“Health is not freedom from the inevitability of death, disease, unhappiness, and stress, but the ability to cope with them in a competent way.”
Health
“ [The goal of nursing is] the promotion of adaptation for individuals and groups in each of the four adaptive modes, thus contributing to health,
quality of life, and dying with dignity.”
