Adaptation: a concept analysis.

Abstract

The concept of adaptation is historically evident in nursing practice. Florence Nightingale showed how the environment required adaptation to meet the needs of the patient. Following her lead, several nurse theorists developed models with examples of the concept of adaptation: the nurse either adapts to the patient's needs, works to help the patient adapt to the environment, or adapts the environment to the needs of the patient. Sr. Callista Roy's Adaptation Model of Nursing is one such nursing model. Although this model has been applied in many clinical and administrative areas, the use of the concept in a school setting with special-need's student requires additional definition and clarification. The goal of this concept analysis paper is to clarify and explore the definition of adaptation in the school setting with application to an Individualized Healthcare Plan (IHP).

The pharmacologic and expectancy effects of alcohol on social anxiety in individuals with social phobia.

Individuals with social phobia are at an increased risk for alcohol problems. Individuals with social phobia could increase their risk for pathological alcohol use if they drink as a means of coping with anxiety-provoking social situations. Providing a circumscribed test of this view, we evaluate the effect of alcohol on the intensity of social phobia anxiety responses. Sixty-one individuals with social phobia gave two speech challenges in front of a group ('social anxiety challenge'), one occurring before and one after they consumed either: (a) an alcoholic drink they were told contained alcohol ('alcohol group'), (b) a non-alcoholic drink they were told contained alcohol ('placebo group'), or, (c) a non-alcoholic drink they were told contained no alcohol ('control group'). Both the alcohol group and the placebo group showed greater reduction in performance anxiety from the first to the second speech challenge than did the control group. Further, there was a strong trend in the data for the alcohol group to show greater reduction in performance anxiety from the first to the second speech challenge than did the placebo group. We concluded from these findings that the pharmacologic effects of alcohol and the belief that one consumed alcohol decrease social performance anxiety in an additive fashion. These results provide direct support for the negatively reinforcing properties of alcohol and are consistent with the view that symptom reduction may motivate alcohol use among socially phobic individuals.
