Abstract
This article examines the use of Roy's Adaptation Model of Nursing within acute psychiatric nursing. The analytical framework used to analyse the model was that of McKenna's (1997) framework. The author believed this framework would allow for analysis of an abstract nature to occur. After examining the model under different headings it was concluded that there exists a research gap in relation to the use of Roy's model within acute psychiatric nursing. It is recognized that Roy's model is well developed and therefore has the potential to positively effect nurse practice and patient outcomes within acute psychiatric nursing. However, it is also acknowledged that a greater level of research-based evidence is required in order to fully justify the use of the model within acute psychiatric nursing.
