| Summary: | "Callista Roy's theory has long been offered at a level that is confusing and of limited use to the undergraduate student. Now this timely booklet provides an easily understood, brief presentation on Callista Roy's Adaptation Model. Lutjens clearly presents the origin of Roy's theory; the assumptions underlying the theory; the major concepts of the meta-paradigm of nursing; propositions of the conceptual model itself; examples for application to practice and research; bibliography, including classic works, critiques, and research; and a glossary of important terms. Roy's Adaptation Model serves as a guide for nursing education, research, and practice, specifically directing numerous critical care research studies. Therefore this accessible booklet is especially valuable for nursing students and professionals. About the series: "Designed to provide a concise description of the conceptual frameworks and theories in nursing which have emerged in the last quarter century. Though short and succinct, they provide a useful overall view for those studying or actively involved in nursing as well as for those interested in the profession and its development. . . . A highly recommended series." --Journal of the Institute of Health Education "Slim, yet a wealth of information is contained within their pages. The most difficult of issues is articulated in a manner which enlightens rather than clouds understanding. King's model is notoriously difficult to explain to beginners, but Evans does so magnificently." --Nursing Times"--Publisher description. |
