Development of Nursing Assessment Tool: An Application of Roy's Adaptation Theory
Subscribe/Renew Journal
It is well known that nursing theories are invaluable in providing the framework for the assessment of health problems and development of nursing care plan. Therefore in the present study authors aim to examine the Roy adaptation theory as a basis for the development of nursing assessment tool for the assessment of cardiac patients. Authors found the congruence between the concepts of cardiac nursing and Roy adaptation theory after in-depth review. Therefore this assessment tool was developed based on the concepts of Roy adaptation theory, in which the health problems of patients in all four modes and the relevant stimuli can be identified.
