Roy's Model

Paper Summary:

The paper explains that Roy's Adaptation Model is a systems model and is focused on outcomes. The paper explores how adaptation refers to the condition of the person in relation to the environment and a system is a set of parts connected to function as a whole for some purpose and does so by virtue of the interdependence of its parts. The paper adds that a system interacts with its environment. The paper discusses how adaptation for Roy means a process and a product. The process is triggered by stress which sets coping behaviors in motion, and those behaviors can be either adaptive or ineffective. The paper explains that adaptation takes place when the person responds to the environment in such a way that the person's goals are promoted.
