Quality of Life Through the Prism of the Roy Adaptation Model

Abstract

This concept analysis is to expand knowledge about quality of life within the Roy adaptation model. The Walker and Avant concept analysis methodology is utilized. The perception of life events influences quality of life, and quality of life influences decision-making and actions. Balance, self-esteem, and satisfaction are essentials of quality of life. The authors in this concept analysis provide a basis for further research studies measuring quality of life using the theoretical basis of the Roy adaptation model.

A Critical Analysis of Using Roy's Adaptation Model in Nursing Research as an Empirical for Clinical Practice: a Systematic Review

“…The central theme of the education or training provided is an adaptation to treatment therapy that is carried out and education on the lifestyle that should be carried out to improve healing and the quality of life of patients (Kilic et al, 2018). Quality of life is an individual's standard or perception of their position in life, which is greatly influenced or influenced by a person's physical health, social relationships, and the level of independence of each individual (Almasloukh & Stewart Fahs, 2021).…”

Physical activity and anxiety with complaints of PMS in adolescents during the COVID-19 pandemic

“…Roy's theory states that physical stimulus is one of the external factors of a regulator coping mechanism [18]. It is expected that with coping mechanisms, someone can achieve four adaptive modes that aim to improve their adaptation to contribute to the health and quality of life and to provide adaptive responses [19], [20]. Regular and sustained physical (sporting) activities contribute to increasing the production and release of endorphins.…”

The Scholar’s Prelude

“…As a result of going through Walker and Avant’s (2019) conceptual analysis method, Gonzalez (2017) formulated a definition of trust, “confident reliance with certainty” (p. 359). In similar fashion, Almasloukh and Fahs (2021) stated the attributes for quality of life as “balance, self-esteem, and satisfaction” (p. 70). As part of the process for Walker and Avant’s (2019) conceptual analysis method, model and other cases are presented.…”

“…Gonzalez (2017) explored the concept of trust using Watson’s theoretical perspective. In comparison, Almasloukh and Fahs (2021) analyzed the concept of quality of life through the lens of Roy’s adaptation model. As a result of going through Walker and Avant’s (2019) conceptual analysis method, Gonzalez (2017) formulated a definition of trust, “confident reliance with certainty” (p. 359).…”

“…(Walker & Avant, 2019, p. 170) Two exemplars that utilize Walker and Avant's (2019) conceptual analysis method published in Nursing Science Quarterly are provided for the reader to consider. In both of these exemplars (Almasloukh & Fahs, 2021;Gonzalez, 2017), a concept is explored for the enhancement of a nursing theoretical perspective from the totality paradigm. Gonzalez (2017) explored the concept of trust using Watson's theoretical perspective.…”
