-=== Overview of the theory ===
+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.
-NEEDS REWRITING TO AVOID PLAGIARISM
-This model comprises the four domain concepts of person, health, environment, and nursing; it also involves a six-step nursing process. Andrews & Roy (1991) state that the person can be a representation of an individual or a group of individuals.[1] Roy's model sees the person as "a biopsychosocial being in constant interaction with a changing environment".[2] The person is an open, adaptive system who uses coping skills to deal with stressors. Roy sees the environment as "all conditions, circumstances and influences that surround and affect the development and behaviour of the person".[1] Roy describes stressors as stimuli and uses the term residual stimuli to describe those stressors whose influence on the person is not clear.[1] Originally, Roy wrote that health and illness are on a continuum with many different states or degrees possible.[2] More recently, she states that health is the process of being and becoming an integrated and whole person.[1] Roy's goal for nursing 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".[1] These four modes are physiological, self-concept, role function and interdependence.
+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.
-Roy employs a six-step nursing process: assessment of behaviour; assessment of stimuli; nursing diagnosis; goal setting; intervention and evaluation. In the first step, the person's behaviour in each of the four modes is observed. This behaviour is compared with norms and is deemed either adaptive or ineffective. The second step is concerned with factors that influence behaviour. Stimuli are classified as focal, contextual or residual.[2] The nursing diagnosis is the statement of the ineffective behaviours along with the identification of the probable cause. This is typically stated as the nursing problem related to the focal stimuli, forming a direct relationship. In the fourth step, goal setting is the focus. Goals need to be realistic and attainable and are set in collaboration with the person.[1] There are usually both short term and long term goals that the nurse sets for the patient. Intervention occurs as the fifth step, and this is when the stimuli are manipulated. It is also called the 'doing phase' .[2] In the final stage, evaluation takes place. The degree of change as evidenced by change in behaviour, is determined. Ineffective behaviours would be reassessed, and the interventions would be revised.[1]
+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 model had its inception in 1964 when Roy was a graduate student. She was challenged by nursing faculty member Dorothy E. Johnson to develop a conceptual model for nursing practice. Roy's model drew heavily on the work of Harry Helson, a physiologic psychologist.[3] The Roy adaptation model is generally considered a "systems" model; however, it also includes elements of an "interactional" model. The model was developed specifically for the individual client, but it can be adapted to families and to communities (Roy, 1983)[full citation needed]. Roy states (Clements and Roberts, 1983)[full citation needed] that "just as the person as an adaptive system has input, output. and internal processes so too the family can be described from this perspective."
+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:
-Basic to Roy's model are three concepts: the human being, adaptation, and nursing. The human being is viewed as a biopsychosocial being who is continually interacting with the environment. The human being's goal through this interaction is adaptation. According to Roy and Roberts (1981, p. 43)[full citation needed], ‘The person has two major internal processing subsystems, the regulator and the cognator." These subsystems are the mechanisms used by human beings to cope with stimuli from the internal and external environment. The regulator mechanism works primarily through the autonomic nervous system and includes endocrine, neural, and perception pathways. This mechanism prepares the individual for coping with environmental stimuli. The cognator mechanism includes emotions, perceptual/information processing, learning, and judgment. The process of perception bridges the two mechanisms (Roy and Roberts, 1981)

+==== 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.//
+==== Physiological Mode ====
+The physiological mode addresses the basic physical needs such as oxygenation, nutrition, elimination, activity, and rest. In IEMT, therapists can explore how changes in these physiological areas might correlate with emotional experiences, like how anxiety can disrupt sleep (rest) or increase heart rate (oxygenation).
+IEMT can reduce physical stress symptoms like heart palpitations or muscle tension by altering the way memories are stored and recalled, improving health outcomes. For instance, a client with anxiety-induced insomnia might find relief as IEMT helps regulate physiological responses.
+==== Self-Concept Mode ====
+This mode focuses on the beliefs and feelings one holds about oneself, encompassing both the physical and personal self. In an IEMT setting, a therapist might help a client who views themselves as 'weak' to see their strengths, impacting their self-esteem and self-image.
+IEMT assists in changing negative self-perceptions tied to traumatic memories, boosting self-esteem. For example, a client viewing themselves as “weak” due to past bullying could, through IEMT, reframe this to recognize their resilience, enhancing self-image.
+==== Role Function Mode ====
+Role function pertains to the social and familial roles an individual plays. For example, a person transitioning from being a student to a professional might struggle with their new identity. IEMT can facilitate this transition by addressing the emotional upheavals that accompany role changes.
+By alleviating the emotional burden of past experiences, IEMT can improve performance in personal and professional roles. A parent struggling with past trauma affecting parenting could use IEMT to adapt, leading to better family dynamics.
+==== Interdependence Mode ====
+Interdependence involves the balance and effectiveness of one's relationships. IEMT can be used to improve how individuals relate to others, manage dependencies, and promote healthier social interactions, such as enhancing communication skills in a marriage or between coworkers.
+Enhanced emotional regulation and self-understanding can lead to healthier relationships and communication. A client with strained family ties due to unresolved grief might, through IEMT, develop stronger, more supportive networks, improving 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.

+While Integral Eye Movement Therapy (IEMT) is not directly based on Sr. Callista Roy’s Adaptation Model, it shares the common goal of promoting adaptation in individuals facing emotional challenges. IEMT, through its eye movement techniques, aims to help clients adapt their emotional responses to past experiences, thereby facilitating better mental and emotional well-being. This aligns with the broader concept of adaptation as described in various psychological and nursing models.
 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.
-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.

 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. This, in turn, can exert an effect in the present through its psychological, physiological, emotional, social and/or environmental nature.
 The Adaptive IEMT Model states that well-being is an integral and central feature of a person’s life, and can be represented on a well-being/distress spectrum. Along with health, well-being can be described as a state and process of being and becoming integrated and whole as a person, freed from the negative historical stresses and maladaptive responses.
+Unlike EMDR, which focuses on processing trauma over multiple sessions, IEMT emphasises rapid emotional shifts, making it particularly suited for immediate adaptive challenges.”

 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.
