CALLISTA ROY (says adaptation plays a significant role)

Isolation

Sister Callista Roy recently further defined adaptation refers to the process and outcome whereby thinking and feeling persons as individuals or in groups, use conscious awareness and choice to create human and environmental integration. Rather than a system simply striving to respond to environmental stimuli to maintain integrity, every human life is purposeful in a universe that is creative and persons are inseparable from their environment. She mentioned philosophical assumptions that persons have mutual relationships with God, and that we are accountable for the processes of deriving, sustaining and transforming the universe. But I do believe that before man can adapt to the environment, situation, or society he is in there is a so called difficulties, leading to adjustments and acceptance. I am talking for both the physical and behavioral aspect of a man when adaptation are about to take place. There are for some struggles to adapt themselves to a situation they are in. If an individual cannot adapt there will be consequences that would follow which can put them in danger or a situation where both the individual and the environment clash. If I could traced back in the beginning when the Lord created Adam and Eve where both of them placed in the Garden of Eden for  them to adapt but there is one adaptation they were not able to adapt when they disobeyed the Lord not to eat the fruit on the tree of life. Both of them were cast away from the garden. When we talked of adaptation we both consider the so called do’s and don’ts on a certain situation or a workplace we are in. In so much that I want to feel comfortable and successful in which I could function my task well. This is only one example of adaptation. This can also be applied in our nursing  process when the evaluation will answer the assessment. Patricia Benner’s novice to expert theory has something in connection with Sister Callista Roy’s theory. Even Florence Nightingale’s environmental theory plays a major role. Her (Sister Roy) theory will not be applicable in the Nursing world but to all in our daily dealings. I am amazed with this theory because If I have to evaluate this, it always the process of in having adaptation yet all of us are doing it yet I we were not able to give importance to such that made into a Theory. An brief example will explain Roy’s theory: You are working competently and some are spreading rumors about you and your Boss and you are affected by it , it seems you feel that every time you walked on the corridors of the school people are talking about your personality. There comes the residual part of it.
