Historical note: Roy Adaptation Association (RAA)
The Roy Adaptation Association (RAA) was founded in 1991 as the Boston Based Adaptation Research in Nursing Society (BBARNS), and consists of nursing scholars interested in advancing nursing practice by developing basic and clinical nursing knowledge based on the Roy Adaptation Model. The Roy Adaptation Model, first published in 1970, is a conceptual model of nursing that positions people (and communities) as systems of biological, psychological, social, and spiritual needs, and nursing as an adaptive process of guiding them to optimal health by balancing those needs.
