-Every environment offers the individual resources, challenges, struggles and stressors of different forms and variable degree thereby resulting in all consequential effects being subjective and occurring on a spectrum. +Her concept has been cited by various scholars and forms the basis for many current approaches to health evaluation and assistance. Moreover, her Adaptive Model has been expanded overseas, providing the opportunity for research collaboration between nurses around the world. Sister Callista Roy’s exceptional scientific contributions have set new precedents in holistic nursing assessment, making her an esteemed professional in both American and international healthcare communities.

 +Nursing theories frame, explain or define the practice and delivery of nursing care. There are a number of [[nursing_models|prominent models in common use]], and different models may be used according to the organisational needs and the provisional requirements of the patient group served.

 +Sister Callista Roy developed the Adaptation Model of Nursing[(Adaptation_model_of_nursing>Adaptation model of nursing[[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adaptation_model_of_nursing|Wikipedia]])] 
 + which quickly became regarded as a major nursing theory worldwide, especially in rehabilitation environments.  Roy's model sees the individual as a set of interrelated biological, psychological and social systems. Whilst the individual strives to maintain a balance between these systems and the pressures of the outside world, an ideal level of balance is rarely found, thus the need for continual adaptation.  
 + 
 +The [[orders_of_adaptation|Adaptation]] Model has been used in neurological rehabilitation units in a number of ways. Some examples[(application_Roys_adaptation_model>Application of Roy's Adaptation Model (RAM)[[https://currentnursing.com/nursing_theory/application_Roy%27s_adaptation_model.html|currentnursing.com]])] include: 
 +

 + 
 +  * **Developing treatment plans** that address the unique needs and strengths of each individual, taking into account their personal goals and priorities. 
 + 
 +  * **Evaluating the effectiveness of rehabilitation interventions** by tracking changes in an individual's adaptation level over time. 
 + 
 +  * **Providing a framework for collaborative care**, where multiple healthcare professionals can work together to support the individual's adaptation and recovery.

 +==== Overview of the theory ==== 
 + 
 +The Adaptation model has four domain concepts of: (i) person, (ii) health, (iii) environment, and (iv) nursing;  
 + 
 +The model views the person as "//a biopsychosocial being in constant interaction with a changing environment//". 
 + 
 +As in systems theory, a person is an open and adaptive system that uses internal coping skills to deal with environmental stressors. The environment is defined as "all conditions, circumstances and influences that surround and affect the development and behaviour of the person". 
 + 
 +Stressors are defined as stimuli and the model uses the term //residual stimuli// to describe those stressors whose influence on the person is not immediately clear. Many life experiences and events that are long over may continue to exert residual stress upon the individual. 
 + 
 +Health is defined as the process of "being and becoming an integrated and whole person" and Callista Roy's goal for the delivery of nursing care is "//the promotion of adaptation in each of the four modes*, thereby contributing to the person's health, quality of life and dying with dignity//". 
 + 
 +*//The four modes referred to are: (i) physiological, (ii) self-concept, (iii) role function and (iv) interdependence.// 
 + 
 + 
 +==== Adaptive Model and IEMT ==== 
 + 
 +Embedded within the operating mechanism of [[iemt_wiki|IEMT]] is a fundamental assumption that holds a person as a dynamic being who is in constant interaction with the ever-changing environment. Human beings are an intricate design of biological, social and psychological factors, both internal and external.  
 + 
 +Every environment offers the individual resources, challenges, struggles and stressors of different forms and variable degrees thereby resulting in all consequential effects being subjective and occurring on a spectrum. 
  
 An important aspect of IEMT is an increase in resilience in order to get the client more effective to face, handle and adapt to the current environment. IEMT attempts to increase adaptability and maturity on part of the individual in order to manage life and its' ongoing complexities.  An important aspect of IEMT is an increase in resilience in order to get the client more effective to face, handle and adapt to the current environment.

-Being an “adaptive system”, a person has input from the environment, which is subject to internal processing, eventually leading to an output. Our model presumes that the individual uses both innate and acquired (learned) mechanisms to adapt. Some of these adaptations may bring about unintended negative consequences and may be termed maladaptive.+Being an “[[orders_of_adaptation|adaptive system]]”, a person has input from the environment, which is subject to internal processing, eventually leading to an output.

This, in turn, can exert an effect in the present through its psychological, physiological, emotional, social and/or environmental nature. The environmental stimuli that present as a resource, challenge, stressor or any combination of these may have its’ origin in the historical biography of an individual.

 With the IEMT model, well-being is affected when an individual’s adaptation fails to de-potentiate residual negative states resulting from historical environmental interactions and pressures. This in turn leads to specific maladaptive patterns, The Patterns of Chronicity, which inadvertently serve to maintain the residual negative state. With the IEMT model, well-being is affected when an individual’s adaptation fails to de-potentiate residual negative states resulting from historical environmental interactions and pressures.

-==== The model includes two subsystems, as well. ==== 
  
-  - **The “Chain-Reaction” Formation**-  The chain of reaction is defines as an extensive coping mechanism that involves the webbed channels of cognition and emotions. It involves the  four components which include: the perceptual and information processing, the learning condition, judgment, and emotion that are output as either adaptive or maladaptive coping behaviours  +----
-  - **The Patterns of Chronicity** -  A rather basic adaptive process generated by the person that has an automatic response set up. These behavioural patterns run on auto-pilot mode and serve as a survival mechanism adapted to cope during and after a highly stressed environment. It is only through these behavioural coping channels that the person is able to remain functional. Especially wwhen they tend to remain focust into these four channels, then they will function accordingly. +

It is to know and imbibe that stressors are integral to living and our adaptability to it defines well-being. Therefore, IEMT gives an empowering choice to stay on the spectrum towards robust health, in all domains, physical, mental, social and spiritual. +The goal of IEMT is to free the client from the effect of negative memories, feelings of distress and constricted identities that restrict the fundamental idea of life which is to experience it fully.
