Adaptation Model

The adaptation model developed by Sister Callista Roy provides a framework for thinking about people and their environment. It focuses on how individuals use coping mechanisms and adaptive processes to respond to stimuli and maintain adaptation. The four modes of adaptation are physiological-physical, self-concept group identity, role function, and interdependence. Nursing aims to enhance a person's adaptation by expanding their adaptive abilities and supporting their integration within the environment.
