Examination of Compliance with the Treatment Process Based on Roy Adaptation Model in a Patient with Metastatic Ovarian Cancer: A Case Repor

The study was planned to evaluate the nursing care process of the patients diagnosed with metastatic ovarian cancer according to the Roy Adaptation Model. The data were collected by using "Gynaecology Data Collection Form", ‘Visual Analog Scale’ and ‘Fatigue Severity Scale’ after obtaining the permission of the institution and written consent of the patient. The North American Nursing Diagnosis classification system, Nursing Diagnoses and Nursing Interventions Classification were used in planning the nursing care of the patient based on Roy Adaptation Model. The Interview was conducted on the fifth post-operative day. Effective adaptation behaviours related to physiological”, “self-concept”, “role function” and “interdependence” areas of the Roy Adaptation Model were evaluated holistically. The patient was admitted to the hospital due to acid, fullness and pain in the abdomen. Metastatic ovarian cancer compatible with stage IV was determined and surgical treatment was applied. The patient has been receiving chemotherapy for two years. Management, care and evaluation of compliance with treatment are very important in ovarian cancer. In our study, it is concluded that Roy Adaptation Model could be used in patients in the treatment process of ovarian cancer to determine the direction of care and to guide health careprofessionals
