The Adaptation Model of Nursing was developed by Sister Callista Roy in 1976. After working with Dorothy E. Johnson, Roy became convinced of the importance of describing the nature of nursing as a service to society. This prompted her to begin developing her model with the goal of nursing being to promote adaptation. She first began organizing her theory of nursing as she developed course curriculum for nursing students at Mount St. Mary's College. She introduced her ideas as a basis for an integrated nursing curriculum. The factors that influenced the development of the model included: family, education, religious background, mentors, and clinical experience. Roy's model asks the questions: Who is the focus of nursing care? What is the target of nursing care? When is nursing care indicated? Roy explained that adaptation occurs when people respond positively to environmental changes, and it is the process and outcome of individuals and groups who use conscious awarene...

Phenomenon of Nursing :   this nursing metaparadigm concept is related to  the art and science of nursing; it consists of  nursing actions  or nursing interventions.

Lobiondo-Wood’s Theory of Family Stress and Adaptation offers a framework for exploring the process of how families cope in response to crises within the context of time and environment. Its application in nursing research is expansive. The theory has been used in studying families with chronically ill children, families experiencing traumatic events, and families with members undergoing organ transplantation. It has also been applied to nontraditional families such as single-parent households (Lobiondo-Wood, 2008). This theory will be critiqued using Fawcett’s Criteria for Evaluation of Nursing Theories for significance, consistency, parsimony, testability, and adequacy (Fawcett, 2005).  Significance The Theory of Family Stress and Adaptation meets Fawcett’s criteria of significance by explicitly addressing metaparadigm concepts, philosophical claims, and the conceptual model from which this theory was derived. The authors also acknowledge adjunct disciplines when describing the...
