Roy Adaptation Model

The Roy Adaptation Model views individuals as adaptive systems that respond to changes in their environment. It suggests that health involves constantly adjusting to internal and external stimuli to maintain balance, known as adaptation. When this balance is disrupted, health problems can occur. Nursing care, according to this model, focuses on helping people adapt effectively to changes, whether physical, emotional, or social, to promote overall well-being. It emphasizes understanding each person’s unique responses and supporting their ability to adapt positively to life's challenges.
