SYSTEM
 A set of units so related or connected as to form a unity or whole and
characterized by inputs, outputs, and control feedback processes
ADAPTATION LEVEL
 A constantly changing point, made up of focal, contextual and residual
stimuli, which represent the persons own standard of the range of stimuli to
which one can respond with ordinary adaptive responses
ADAPTATION PROBLEM
 The occurrences of situation of inadequate response to need deficits or excesses
 Seen as a nursing diagnosis, but areas of concern for the nurse related to
adapting person or group
ASSUMPTION REVISION BASIC TO CONCEPT FOR THE

Scientific Assumption

Thinking and feeling immediate human action
 System relationship include acceptance, protection, and fostering of interdependence
 Persons and the earth have common patterns and integral relationship
 Persons and environment transformations are created in human consciousness

Metaparadigm of the Theory
Nursing
• A “ theoretical system of knowledge which
prescribes a process of analysis and action
related to the care of the ill or potentially ill
person.
• Sister Callista Roy differentiates nursing as
a science from nursing as a practice discipline
Person • A “biopsychosocial being in constant interaction
with a changing environment”.
• The recipient of nursing care, as a living,
complex, adaptive system with internal processes
acting to maintain adaptation in the four
adaptive modes (physiological needs, self- concept,
role function, and interdependence).
• The person as a living system is “ a whole made
up of parts of subsystem that function as unity
for some purpose
Health
• A “state and a process of being and
becoming an integrated and whole person.
Lack of integration represents Lack of
health”.
• “all the conditions, circumstances, and
influences surrounding and affecting the
Environment development and behavior of persons or
group”.
• The input into the person as an adaptive
system involving both internal and external
factors.
• Any environment change demands
increasing energy to adapt to the situation.
Factors in the environment that affect the
person are categorized as focal, contextual,
and residual stimuli.
