Riassunto

This volume provides an easily understood presentation of Roy′s Adaptation Model of nursing theory which views the person as a biopsychosocial being in constant interaction with the changing environment.

Roy believes nursing is needed when unusual stressors or weakened coping mechanisms make the person′s usual attempts to cope ineffective. The goal of nursing is thus to promote the adaptation of the patient, leading to a higher level of wellness. Roy′s model has been a guiding influence on numerous critical care research studies.
