Roy was an associate professor and chairperson of
the department of nursing at mount Saint Mary’s
college until 1982.
CONTD….
From 1983 to 1985; she was Post Doctoral fellow at
Robert Wood Johnson at University of California, as a
clinical nurse scholar in neuroscience.
In 1988 Roy began the newly created position of
graduate faculty at, Boston school of nursing.

CONCEPTSOFMODEL
Roy’s model is a system model that focuses on
outcomes. the major features of the system models
are the:
-System and its environment
A system is a set of parts connects to function as a
whole for some purposes and are interdependence of
its parts.
CONTD….
Keys elements in the Roy
adaptation model are-
1. The person who is recipient of
nursing care
2. The goal of nursing.
3. The concept of health
4. The direction of nursing
activities.
Goal-the goal of nsg. as the
promotion of adaptive responses
in relation to the four adaptive
modes (physiological, self
concept, role function and
interdependence)and contribute to
health.
Nsg activities-The nursing activities are
delineated by the model as those that
promotes adaptive responses in situation
of health and illness. The nsg activities are
identified as actions taken by nurses to
manipulate the focal, contextual residual
stimuli impringing on person.
CONTD….
The nsg processacc. to Roy’s
model consists of six steps-
(1)Acceptance of behavior
(2)Acceptance of stimuli
(3)Nsg diagnosis
(4)Goal setting
(5)Intervention
(6)Evaluation
Health-health has been defined as a “state and
process of being and becoming an integrate and
whole person’’ Health is a process where by
individuals are striving to achieve their maximum
potentials.
Environment-stimuli from within the person and
stimuli from around the person represents the
element of environment acc. to Roy.
Environment is specifically defined by Roy as “all
conditions, circumstances influences surrounding
and affecting the development and behavior of
persons and groups.
6. THEPERSONASANADAPTIVE
SYSTEM
In addition to the concept of person,goal of
nsg,health and environment and nsg activities in
the model ,the theory of person as an adaptive
system employs additional concepts.
The person as an adaptive system
CONTD…
Contextual stimuli-observable, measureable and
reported by the person.
Residual stimuli-those make up characteristics of
the person that are present and relevant to
situation.
CONTD….
Mechanisms are of 2 types:
(1)Regulatoris used primarily as a mechanism to
cope with physiological stimuli.
(2)Cognator used mainly as mechanism to cope
with psychological stimuli dealing primarily in area
of cognition, judgment and emotion.
-Regulator and cognator mechanisms are linked
through the process of perception.
CONTD….
Effectors: Roy has identified four adaptive modes;
Physiological
self concept
role function
interdependence.
7. THEORYOFADAPTIVEMODES:
The theory of adaptive modes was developed in 1981,
consist of four parts:
physiological,
self concept,
role function &
interdependence.
CONTD…..
(3)ROLE FUNCTION MODE:
The basic need in the role function adaptive model is
for social integrity. This means that people need to
know who they are in relation to others so that they
can act. All people have role in society. With each role
there are expected behavior .Role have been divided
into primary, secondary and tertiary.
CONTD….
(4)INTERDEPENDENCE MODE
Interdependence is a social adaptive
mode,needsaffection adequacy or the feeling of
security in nurturing relationships.
Interdependence means the close relationship of
people that involves willingness & ability to love,
respect & value others and to accept & responds
to love, respect and value given by others.
Loneliness as a common adaptation problem
resulting from a disruption in the modes.
Those currently identified
needs are listed below:
(a) Basic physiological needs-
Exercise and rest
Nutrition
Elimination
Fluid and electrolyte
Oxygen
Circulations
Regulations
NURSING PROCESS ACCORDINGTORAM
A problem solving approach for gathering data,
identifying the capacities and needs of the human
adaptive system, selecting and implementing
approaches for nursing care, and evaluation the
outcome of care provided.
oAssessment of Behavior:the first step of the nursing
process which involves gathering data about the
behavior of the person as an adaptive system in each of
the adaptive modes.
CONTD….
Assessment of Stimuli:the second step of the
nursing process which involves the identification of
internal and external stimuli that are influencing the
person’s adaptive behaviors.
Stimuli are classified as:
1) Focal-those most immediately confronting the
person
2) Contextual-all other stimuli present that are
affecting the situation
3) Residual-those stimuli whose effect on the
situation are unclear.
Nursing Diagnosis:step three of the nursing process
which involves the formulation of statements that
interpret data about the adaptation status of the person,
including the behavior and most relevant stimuli
GOALSETTING
the fourth step of the nursing process which
involves the establishment of clear statements of
the behavioral outcomes for nursing care.
Intervention:the fifth
step of the nursing
process which involves
the determination of
how best to assist the
person in attaining the
established goals
Evaluation:the sixth
and final step of the
nursing process which
involves judging the
effectiveness of the
nursing intervention in
relation to the behavior
after the nursing
intervention in
comparison with the
goal established.

CONCLUSION
Mr.NR who was suffering with diabetes
mellitus for past 10 years. Diabetic foot
ulcer and recent amputation made his life
more stressful. Nursing care of this patient
based on Roy's adaptation model provided
had a dramatic change in his condition. He
studied how to use crutches and mobilized
at least twice in a day. Patient’s anxiety
reduced to a great extends by proper
explanation and reassurance.He gained
good knowledge on various aspect of
diabetic foot ulcer for the future self care
activities.

9. APPLICATION OFR.A.M INNURSING
(1) Nsg practice-R.A.M is a very useful method in nursing
practice specially in those setting where there are
convert psychological needs which are as essential as
physical one. Roy’s models are very effective in
pediatrics as well as community and rehabilatory nsg.
CONTD….
(2)Nursing Research-
R.A.M provide a conceptual model for
nursing process and this has been a
basis for number of research being
done.fore.gmeasuring functional
status after child birth,functionalstatus
during pregnancy.
If research is to affect practitioners’
behavior, it must be directed at testing
and retesting conceptual models for
nursing practice. Roy has stated that
theory development and the testing of
developed theories are nursing’s
highest priorities. The model must be
able to regenerate testable hypotheses
for it to be researchable.
CONTD….
(3)Education-
RAM useful in educational setting.Roy states that the model defines for
students the distinct purpose of nursing which is to promote man’s
adaptation in each of the adaptive modes in situations of health and
illness.
