My nursing practice has demonstrated concretely that health care optimization largely depends on patients’ cooperation. The Roy Adaptation Model, a client-centered model, which promotes patient cooperation, as it focuses on enabling the patient to respond positively to environmental changes (Hargrove & Derstine, 2001, p. 15) has been my personal practice framework. With this framework, I learned a lot of things as a bedside nurse. I learned to look for the specific factors and various nursing interventions that in any way may have an impact on my patients’ adaptation process. My assessment skills have greatly improved. I am able to identify the abnormal. and I have learned effective methods to evaluate my output, if it has been the product of my nursing care or not. Putting into practice the Roy Adaptation Model has compelled me to spend more time with my patients, enabling me to focus on their problems/needs. Resultantly, I have developed a mutually respectful relationship with them that they cooperate with me in their healing process.

However, in the course of my practice, I came to realize that developing self-care in my patients would capacitate them to adapt more easily to their changing environments. Hence, Dorothea Orem Self-Care Model has supplemented my personal practice framework. Orem’s three central theories of self-care, self-care deficit, and nursing systems are congruent with the Roy Adaptation Model. Self-care comprises those activities performed independently by an individual to promote and maintain his/her well-being. Self-care deficit happens when self-care is not possible.
