Abstract
Background: Adaptation is a process in which a person is actively involved for a period of time and uses different strategies. Roy’s adaptation model sees individuals as an adaptive system in a stable interaction with internal and external environment; therefore, they constantly change and try to adapt. When the individual does not make the desired adaptation and hence ineffective responses, nurses learn about it. The present study aimed to systematically review the studies conducted in Iran on the Roy’s adaptation model.

The articles were evaluated using the Consort checklist. A total of 235 articles were found, and the systematic review of the articles was performed based on PRISMA. Finally, full text of 34 suitable articles were selected and analyzed after several steps of evaluation.
