Theorist by SISTER CALLISTA ROY was written by Jammie, Rebecca, and Jeanette.
Sister Callista Roy is a Sister of Saint Joseph and one of us worked for a Catholic health system.
Callista L. Roy was born in Los Angeles, California in 1939.Her education began at Mount Saint Mary's College, but she received her masters degree and PhD from the University of California.Dr. Roy has traveled to over 30 countries to speak about her Roy adaptation model for nursing.Callista Roy.
Dr. Roy was impressed with what she saw in the children when she cared for them.They are the theorists that Dr. Roy used to create her early prototypes of the RAM.The first article in Nursing Outlook was published after 17 years of developing the RAM at Mount St. Mary's College.It wasn't until a month later that RAM became a framework for the nursing-based curriculum.The Roy Adaptation Model was introduced in 2007.
One of the changes to the model was the creation of four modes to which adaptation is manifest and provides a base for the assessment portion of nursing process.The Roy Adaptation Model includes physiologic, self concept, role function, and interdependence.
Dr. Roy is constantly tweaking her theory to fit the nursing needs of today.Early identifying factors of RAM include systems theory, adaptation-level theory and humanistic values, but later she describes a philosophical assumption of veritivity being more effective than the relativistic approach in that it puts limitations on progress.The limited view of secular humanism in using certain conceptual approaches to nursing was stressed in a paper published by Dr. Roy in 1988.The Roy Adaptation Model was introduced in 2007.
In the 1990s, Dr. Roy decided to re-define adaptation and progress into the twenty-first century.Dr. Roy added a mixture of science and spirituality to the definition of adaptation.According to her position, nurses view patients as co-extensive with their surroundings and both physical and social environments.She encourages nurses to adopt a value-based stance which is founded in beliefs and hopes about the individual, and that we accept a discipline that functions by promoting the well-being of patients and the earth.The Roy Adaptation Model shows adaptation in three tiers of integrated life processes, compromised processes and compensatory processes.
As an adaptive system, the human system is described as a whole with parts that function as unity for some purpose.Human systems included people as individuals or in groups, including families, organizations, communities, and society as a whole.
Information and ConceptsGlobal Concept: ENVIRONMENT: "All 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 earth resources that includes focal, contextual and residual stimuli."
Health is a state and process of being and becoming integrated as a whole person.It is a reflection of adaptation, that is, the interaction of the person and the environment.If a person is adapting positively in another mode, they are healthy.Andrews and Roy, 1991, p 21.
Information and ConceptsGlobal Concept: HEALTH continuedRegulator cope mechanism responds automatically through neural, chemical, and endocrine processes.The regulator copes through the adaptation mode.The cognator copes through either self-concept, interdependence, or role function adaptation modes.The adaptation modes are described in the following slides.
Information and Concepts Global Concept: HEALTH continues to meet the basic need for bodily integrity, Oxygenation, Nutrition, Elimination, Activity and rest, Protection, Senses, fluid and electrolyte and acid-base balance, Neurological function, and Endocrine function.
Information and Concepts Global Concept: HEALTH continues to meet the basic need for psychic and spiritual integrity.
Information and ConceptsGlobal Concept: HEALTH continued, Interdependence Adaptation Mode, meets basic need for integrity or security in nurturing relationships, give and receive love, respect and value, and significant others in a person's life.
Information and ConceptsGlobal Concept: HEALTH continued, Role Function Adaptation Mode, meets basic need for social integrity, and knowledge of society's expectations are appropriate action within society.
"Nursing is the science and practice that expands adaptive abilities and enhances person and environmental transformation." (Alligood & Tomey, 2010)The person will be helped to adapt to the stimuli by the nurses.The following process is used by nurses.
Roy's Model of nursing expands hugely on the 4 Global Concepts.Roy describes how each concept is related to another and how it affects another.Her concept of environment breaks the environment down into different types of stimuli.
Roy's theory was based on the following questions: Who is the focus of nursing care?What is the purpose of nursing care?When is nursing care indicated?Roy has influences behind this theory that include family, her religious background, mentors, clinical experiences, and education.
