  5. Callista Roy’s Definition of Nursing • A scientific discipline that is practice-oriented. • A theoretical system of knowledge which prescribes a process of analysis and action r/t the care of the ill or potentially ill. • An interpersonal process that is initiated by the individual’s maladaptation to changes in the environment. • Nursing actions are directed to reduce or removing stimuli and to enhancing the adaptive level of the individual.

  6. Nursing: The 4 Modes • Physiological mode- 5 basic physiological needs (Oxygenation, nutrition, elimination, activity and rest, and protection) and 4 regulator processes. • Self concept-The composition of beliefs and feelings that a person holds about himself. • Interdependence- maintaining integrity. Involves a willingness and ability to love, respect, and value others and to accept love. • Output-outcome of the system. The person’s behaviors characterized as adaptive responses or ineffective responses.

  7. Goals of Nursing • The promotion of adaptation in each of 4 modes: physiological needs, self concept, role function, interdependence thereby contributing to the person’s health, quality of life or death with dignity. • Nursing aims to increase the adaptive responses and to decrease ineffective responses.

  8. Catchment/Release Mechanism • Overall, her theory proposes that a primary goal of nursing be the "promotion of Patient adaptation.“ • Thus, when a person is not adapting positively, he is of concern to nursing. • Once a person manifests effective behavior, he no longer needs nursing attention

  9. Nursing: 3 Major Propositions • Nursing action can increase a person’s adaptive responses. • Nursing actions can decrease a person’s ineffective responses. • People interact with changing environments in an attempt to achieve adaptation and health.
