By: Sathish Rajamani M.S c (N)

Lecturer,

 Humanism

Philosophy and psychology that recognizes

the person and subjective dimensions of the
human experience as central to knowing
and valuing.
 Discuss the relationship of
systems theory to Roy Model.
Based on assumptions of von Bertalanffys
General Systems Theory
Based on assumptions of Helsons
Adaptation-Level theory
Humanism
Veritivity
 Veritivity

Principle of human nature that affirms a

common purposefulness of human
existence, activity and reactivity for the
common good and value and meaning of
life.
Discuss the concepts of
adaptation model.
Adaptive: Human system has the capacity
to adjust effectively to changes in the
environment and affects the environment.
Promote survival, growth, reproduction &
mastery.
System
Set of parts connected to function as a
whole for some purpose and through the
interdependence of the parts.
Input--Through put--Output--Feedback
 Adaptive Level

Changing Point influenced by the demands

of the situation and the persons internal
resources, including capabilities hopes,
dreams, aspirations, motivations.
Represents the persons ability to respond.
 Adaptive Level

The response (output) or behavior is a

function of the input stimuli and the
adaptation level.
It is adaptive or ineffective.
 Identify the environment as a
significant concept of
adaptation.
Stimuli are environmental influences.
3 type: focal contextual, or residual.
 Focal Stimuli

Internal or external stimulus most

immediately confronting the person
 Contextual Stimuli

All other stimuli present that contribute to

the focal stimuli.
Influence how the person can deal with the
focal stimulus.
Contextual Stimuli
 Residual Stimuli

Factors whose effect in the current situation

is unclear.
No clear data.
Based on theory or experience of the nurse.
 Residual Stimuli

 Coping Mechanisms

Innate or acquired ways of responding to

the changing environment.
Innate are genetically determined or
common to the species and automatic
processes.
Acquired are developed through learning
and other process.
 Coping Mechanisms

Regulator
 Regulator Subsystem

Automatic responses through neural,

chemical and endocrine coping processes.
 Coping Mechanisms

Regulator
Cognator
 Cognator Subsystem

Perceptual/information processing, learning,

judgment, and emotion
 Perceptual/information
Processing Examples:
Selective Attention
Coding
Memory
 Learning

Imitation
Reinforcement
Insight
 Emotion

Defenses are used to seek relief from

anxiety
 Emotion

Make affective appraisal and attachments.

Identify the modes & submodes
of the Roy Adaptation Model
Adaptive Modes--Behaviors
Physiological
Self-concept
Role function
Interdependence
 Physiological-Physical Mode
Needs of physiological integrity
Oxygenation
Nutrition
Elimination
Activity & Rest
Protection
Senses
Fluid, electrolyte, and Acid-Base Balance
Neurologic Function
Endocrine Function
 Self-Concept Mode

Psychological and spiritual aspects of the

person.
Need for psychic integrity
 Self-concept

Composite of beliefs and feelings that a

person holds about him or herself at a given
time.
 Self Concept

Physical Self
Body Sensations
Body Image
 Self Concept

Personal Self
Self-consistency
Self-ideal
Moral-ethical-spiritual self
 Role Function Mode

Role is a set of expectations about another

Need for social integrity
Role classification: Primary, Secondary,
Tertiary
Role Function Behaviors

Instrumental (task)

Expressive (emotional)
 Interdependence Mode

Interactions related to the giving and

receiving of love, respect, and value.
Need is for affectional adequacy.
 Interdependence Behaviors

Receptive
Contributive
 Behaviors

Adaptive
Ineffective
 Identify the goal of nursing
according to Roy
Promote ADAPTATION in each of the
four modes.
 Discuss the nursing activities in
the Roy Adaptation Model
What affects adaptation behavior?
Stimuli
If you want to change behavior,
change stimuli.
