Developing a Roy Adaptation Model Study Jacqueline Fawcett Keville Frederickson
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research • 1. Develop a comprehensive understanding of the content and research guidelines of the conceptual model • 2. Review existing research guided by the conceptual model • 3. Construct a conceptual-theoretical-empirical structure
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research • 4. Clearly communicate the conceptual-theoretical-empirical structure in written proposals and study reports • 5. Conclude the report of research findings with an evaluation of the empirical adequacy of the middle-range theory and the legitimacy of the conceptual model
Workshop Objectives • 1. Identify a RAM-based phenomenon that needs to be studied • 2. Analyze the components of conceptual-theoretical-empirical structures for RAM-based theory-generating and theory-testing research • 3. Develop a conceptual-theoretical-empirical structure for the study of a RAM-based phenomenon
Workshop Objective 1 • 1. Identify a RAM-based phenomenon that needs to be studied • Concepts of the RAM • Propositions of the RAM • Research guidelines for the RAM

Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 1 • Purpose of the research • Study of the phenomena encompassed by the Roy Adaptation Model requires both basic nursing research and clinical nursing research • Basic research--To understand and explain people adapting within their life situations • Clinical research--To develop and test interventions and other strategies designed to enhance positive life processes and patterns
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 1 • Phenomena of interest • Basic life processes and how nursing maintains or enhances adaptive responses or changes ineffective responses to adaptive responses • All concepts and propositions of the RAM are relevant phenomena
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 1 • Problems to be studied • Those stemming from the attempts made by the human adaptive system to meet needs for: • Physiological integrity - individuals • Resource adequacy -groups • Psychic and spiritual integrity - individuals • Identity integrity - groups • Social integrity - individuals • Role clarity - groups • Relational integrity -individuals and groups
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 1 • Research participants • Individuals or groups who are well or who have acute or chronic medical conditions
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 1 • Research methods • Descriptive, correlational, and experimental research designs are needed • Both qualitative and quantitative methods of data collection are appropriate • Data can be gathered in any health care setting in which human adaptive systems are found • Research instruments should reflect the unique focus and intent of the RAM and may include the instruments directly derived from the RAM
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 1 • Data analysis • Data analysis techniques encompass qualitative content analysis and nonparametric and parametric statistical procedures, with an emphasis on statistical techniques that facilitate analysis of nonlinear and reciprocal relations
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 1 • Contributions • Roy Adaptation Model–based research enhances understanding of the human adaptive system and the role of nursing intervention in the promotion of adaptation
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 2 • Review RAM based research • CINAHL Electronic Database • Search terms • Roy adaptation model and research • Roy adaptation model and research and [topic]
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 2 • Review other relevant research literature • Categorize studies using relevant RAM concepts and propositions • CINAHL Electronic Database • Search terms • [Topic] and research
Workshop Objective 2 • 2. Analyze the components of conceptual-theoretical-empirical (CTE) structures for RAM-based theory-generating and theory-testing research • Components of CTE structures for research • CTE structures for theory-generating research • CTE structures for theory-testing research
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 3 • Each study encompasses three major elements that make up the conceptual-theoretical-empirical (CTE) structure • The conceptual model - C • The middle-range theory - T • The empirical research methods - E
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 3 • Conceptual model (C) • A set of relatively abstract and general concepts and propositions about human beings, their environments, their health, and nursing processes
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 3 • Middle-range theory (T) • One or more relatively concrete and specific concepts and propositions about a phenomenon identified by a conceptual model
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 3 • Empirical research methods (E) • Research design • Sample • Instruments • Procedures for collecting data and protecting participants • Data analysis techniques
Descriptive theories Explanatory theories Predictive theories Descriptive research Correlational research Experimental research Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 3 Types of Middle-Range Theories and Research
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 3 • Construct the CTE structure • Select the conceptual model • Select the type of CTE structure • Theory-generating • Theory-testing
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 3 • CTE Structures for Theory-Generating Research • Inductive approach • From conceptual model to empirical research methods to middle-range theory

Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 3 • CTE Structures for Theory-Testing Research • Deductive approach • From conceptual model to middle-range theory to empirical research methods
Theory-Testing Research Conceptual Model Concepts Middle-Range Theory Concepts Empirical Research Methods Research Design Sample Instruments Procedures Data Analysis Techniques
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 4 • State the name of the conceptual model • Provide an overview of the conceptual model • Discuss the conceptual model in sufficient breadth and depth so that the relation of the model to the middle-range theory and the empirical research methods is clear
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 4 • Identify the particular concepts and propositions of the conceptual model that are relevant for your study • Define the conceptual model concepts
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 4 • Draw a diagram of the CTE structure • Write a narrative description of the diagram
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 4 • State the linkages between the conceptual model concepts and propositions that are relevant for your study and the empirical research methods
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 4 • Theory-generating research • In keeping with the conceptual model, [name of qualitative research design] was used
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 4 • Theory-generating research • Conceptual model concepta guided the construction of Interview Schedulez • N study participants will be asked to describe …..
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 4 • Theory-generating research • In keeping with the conceptual model, data were collected [explain the where, when, and who of data collection] • Each participant signed an informed consent form • In keeping with the conceptual model, the data will be analyzed using Interpretative Methody.
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 4 • Theory-generating research • State the linkages between the empirical research methods and the middle-range theory concept(s) and proposition(s).
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 4 • Theory-generating research • Analysis of the data obtained from the N study participants who responded to Interview Schedulez revealed the Middle-Range Theory of X. • The Middle-Range Theory of X is made up of n concepts: Concepta, Conceptb, …Conceptn.

Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 4 • Theory-testing research • The conceptual model proposes that conceptA and conceptB are related. Therefore, the middle-range theory asserts that theory concepta is related to theory conceptb.
Using a Conceptual Model to Guide Research: Step 4 • Theory-testing research • State the linkages between the middle-range theory concepts and the empirical research methods.
