Theoretical Framework

This research was led by Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation model of nursing, which was

published in 1976. The RAM considers the individual to be an adaptable system in continual

contact with an internal and external environment that provides a multitude of stimuli that either

endanger or support the person's unique completeness. The essential responsibility of the

individual is to retain integrity in the face of various external influences. “Integrity is the degree

of wholeness achieved by adapting to changes in needs”(Roy and Andrews, p.102)

Adaptive responses contribute to health which is the process of being and becoming

integrated and ineffective or maladaptive responses do not. Each person's adaptation level is

unique and constantly changing and can affect how well they are able to cope with stress, anxiety

or other stress-related situations. Sister Callista Roy's adaptation paradigm includes a level of

adaptation, four adaptive modes, and coping techniques. The Physiologic –Physical Mode, the

physiological mode is concerned with the body's fundamental physiological demands and

adaptations in terms of fluids and electrolytes, activity and rest, circulation and oxygen,

nourishment and excretion, protection, the senses, and neurological and endocrine function. The

Self-concept mode, this mode includes both the physical self and the personal self, as well as the

ethical self, which involves self-ideal and consistency. The Role function mode, which refers to

the performance of obligations based on social rank, is determined by the desire for social

integrity. The interdependence mode, involves once relations with significant others with support

systems that provide help, affection, and attention.

Roy classifies environmental stimuli into three types: focal stimulus, contextual stimuli,

and residual stimuli. The focal stimulus is the internal or external input that most directly tests
the person's adaptability. Context stimuli are any other phenomena arising from a person's

internal or external environment that may affect the focal stimulus but whose effects are unclear.

Residual stimuli are any other phenomena arising from a person's internal or external

environment that may affect the focal stimulus but whose effects are unclear.

This is a study of student nurses' levels of adaption and coping techniques during the

COVID-19 pandemic. Sister Callista Roy's Adaptation Model serves as the foundation for this

investigation. This framework supports student nurses' roles in how they adapt to changes and

how student nurses respond to many types of stimuli that impact several causes in a given

circumstance. The conclusions will be taken from the study's findings. For example, how student

nurses establish relationships with future patients that include integrity in order to ensure

effective communication and relationships, how a student nurse stands as a member of society,

and how the student nurse reflects on his/her emotions and perceptions as a coping mechanism.

 Our Conceptual Framework consist of Input , Process and Output . The input is the
profile of the college nursing students according to sex, year-level, age, and because of the
pandemic we include in the input, the safety regulations (Infections control Procedures and
Health Protocols and the Nursing Implications platform being used. The research process
includes, Quantitative (Descriptive Research ),Data Gathering and Analysis of student profile ,
Administering questionnaires , Nursing Students Responses Organizations and Statistical
analysis and interpretation of data. The output is the Readiness of Nursing students for actual
classes amid pandemic was Identified with the Demograpic Profile , Health and Environment
status was prioritized Interventions was implemented and Implication of Nursing Practice .
