title: [Components of a Roy's adaptation model in patients undergoing hemodialysis].
abstract: Cross-sectional study aimed to identify the components of a Roy's adaptation model in patients undergoing hemodialysis at a dialysis center. 178 patients participated in a dialysis center in the Brazil Northeast region. Data collection occurred from October/2011 to February/2012 through the use of interviews and physical examinations. The components identified were: adaptive problems, behaviors and stimuli. The main adaptive problems were: intracellular fluid retention, hyperkalemia, hypothermia, edema, intolerance for performing daily activities. The behaviors were: anuria, hydroelectrolyte imbalance, gain of weight in a short period of time, elevated serum potassium concentrations, body temperature below 36 degrees C, fluid retention, fatigue, difficulty performing activities of daily living. The stimuli were: renal injury, cardiopulmonary bypass, hemodialysis, failure to observe fluid intake restriction, electrolyte disorder, cold environment, adverse effects related to treatment. We conclude that the identification of these components, classified as physiological mode, contribute to the planning of specific nursing interventions focused on the adaptation of the clientele.
