Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation Model

Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation Model views individuals as systems that maintain balance through constant interaction with their environment. The model aims to foster successful adaptation through four modes: physiological needs, self-concept, role function, and interdependence. Roy developed this nursing theory as a graduate student after being challenged to create a conceptual model. It was first published in 1970 and focuses on individuals as bio-psycho-social beings that use innate and acquired mechanisms to respond positively to environmental changes through adaptation.
