    Stuart Stress Adaptation Model

    Last updated on March 9, 2012


    Introduction

    Stuart Stress Adaptation Model is a model of of psychiatric


    nursing care, which integrates biological, psychological,
    sociocultural, environmental, and legal-ethical aspects of
    patient care into a unified framework for practice.

    The Stuart Stress Adaptation Model of health and wellness


    provides a consistent nursing-oriented framework (Stuart,
    2009).

    Assumptions

    "Nature is ordered as a social hierarchy from the simplest unit


    to the most complex and the individual is a part of family,
    group, community, society, and the larger biosphere."

    "Nursing care is provided within a biological, psychological,


    sociocultural, environmental, and legal-ethical context."

    Health/illness and adaptation/maladaptation (nursing world


    view) are two distinct continuums.

    The model includes the primary, secondary, and tertiary levels


    of prevention by describing four discrete stages of psychiatric
    treatment: crisis, acute, maintenance, and health promotion.

    Nursing care is based on the use of the nursing process and the
    standards of care and professional performance for psychiatric
    nurses.

    Concepts

    Biopsychosocial approach - a holistic perspective that


    integrates biological, psychological, and sociocultural aspects
    of care.

    Predisposing factors -risk factors such as genetic background.

    Precipitating stressors - stimuli that the person perceives as


    challenging such as life events.

    Appraisal of stressor - an evaluation of the significance of a


    stressor.

    Coping resources - options or strategies that help determine


    what can be done as well as what is at stake.

    Four stages of psychiatric treatment & nursing care

    Conclusion

    settings.

    and professional performance.
