Who used adaptation theory in their nursing theories?

  1. Imogene King

  2. Sister Calista Roy

  3. Lydia Hall

  4. Martha Rogers

The correct answer is: Sister Calista Roy

Sister Calista Roy developed the Adaptation Model of nursing, which emphasizes how individuals and groups adjust to changes in their environment. Her theory posits that health is achieved when individuals effectively adapt to internal and external stimuli, and it categorizes adaptation into four modes: physiological, self-concept, role function, and interdependence. Each mode addresses different aspects of human response and promotes holistic care, allowing healthcare providers to facilitate effective adaptation strategies for their patients. Roy's work in adaptation theory has had a significant impact on nursing practice and education, highlighting the importance of client adaptability in achieving optimal health outcomes.
