Nursing theory is a framework of concepts designed to provide guidance to the practice of nursing. Before the development of nursing theories, the practices were passed on in an apprenticeship fashion from one generation to the next. In the 1960’s, debates and discussions of nursing curricula provided the opportunity for the evolution of nursing from a vocation to a profession. Theories were developed during the research era of nursing, and they resulted in the actual development of what is known as the science of nursing today. In 1979, Sister Callista Roy developed her theory known as the Roy Adaptation Model that is still in use today in various areas of the field of nursing. The exploration of the history of Sister Callista Roy herself

Dorothy E. Johnson was Sister Callista Roy’s advisor and seminar faculty. Dorothy was focused on defining the goal of nursing in an attempt to target the development of knowledge into practice. During Sister Callista Roy’s first seminar with Dorothy, she suggested that a goal of nursing was to urge patient adaptation. Therefore, Callista set out to further define what it meant to adapt. Specifically, Dorothy Johnson encouraged Callista to expand her concept of adaptation as a structure for nursing. In addition to Dorothy’s encouragement, Callista was influenced by multiple authors as her concept of adaptation grew. Her theory is based on the concept of systems and adaptation of nursing practice. (Boston College, …show more content…
Mary 's College in Los Angeles. The model turned into the structure for a nursing-based coordinated educational module in March 1970. During that month, the first article on the model was distributed in Nursing Outlook. The four versatile modes were included as the routes in which adjustment is shown and hence as the premise for nursing evaluation. Other significant improvements of the model in the 1999 course book, composed with Dr. Heather Andrews, include: 1) growing the versatile modes to incorporate social persons and also singular persons and 2) portraying adjustment on three levels of coordinated life forms, compensatory procedures, and bargained methods. Dr. Roy has likewise plotted a structure for nursing learning improvement in view of the Roy Adaptation Model and gave cases of examination inside this structure. Dr. Roy stays focused on creating learning for nursing practice and persistently upgrading the Roy Adaptation Model as a premise for this information improvement. (Boston College, 2013)
The Roy Adaptation Model Defined Sitzman and Eichelberger (2011) convey that “the Roy Adaptation Model applies the two concepts of systems and adaptation to nursing practice” (p. 85). In light of the Roy Adaptation Model ‘systems’ refer to a grouping that forms a unified whole. Systems may be a family, group, society, community or an individual. Adaptation is the coping mechanisms
