Application of Roy's adaptation model when caring for a group of women coping with menopause.
This article details the application of Roy's (Roy & Andrews, 1999) adaptation model when caring for a group of women experiencing changes associated with menopause. The Roy model guided the assessment of the members' levels of adaptation and facilitated the management of stimuli to promote their adaptation. Nursing interventions focused on issues surrounding menopause including disturbance in body image and social isolation.
