The purpose of this paper was to evaluate a role for the Roy adaptation model (RAM) for the nursing care of military veterans with alcohol use disorder. Parse’s criteria were used to critique the RAM. The RAM’s humanistic philosophy emphasizes the ability to develop new coping skills and adapt to complex environments. The framework can define physical, emotional, and social responses to stressors faced by veterans. The RAM could guide new research and practice initiatives that optimize the health of military veterans.

Research on the relationship between automation services and tourism has been rapidly growing in recent years and has led to a new service landscape where the role of robots is gaining both practical and research attention. This paper builds on previous reviews and undertakes a comprehensive analysis of the research literature to discuss opportunities and challenges presented by the use of service robots in hospitality and tourism. Management and ethical issues are identified and it is noted that practical and ethical issues (roboethics) continue to lack attention. Going forward, new directions are urgently needed to inform future research and practice. Legal and ethical issues must be proactively addressed, and new research paradigms developed to explore the posthumanist and transhumanist transitions that await. In addition, closer attention to the potential of “co-creation” for addressing innovations in enhanced service experiences in hospitality and tourism is merited. Among others, responsibility, inclusiveness and collaborative human-robot design and implementation emerge as important principles to guide future research and practice in this area.

In this paper, the authors suggest that shame is a barrier to many patients’ willingness to disclose their history of trauma to nurses and other members of the healthcare team and that the clinicians participate in this withholding of information because of their experience of vicarious shame. The authors propose that shame and vicarious shame reduce the accuracy of assessment, limit the nurse–patient relationship, and reduce the ability of the healthcare teams to accurately diagnose and treat patients. Shame as a barrier to trauma assessment is also considered in light of the Roy adaptation model and from a global perspective. Implications for education, research, and nursing practice are discussed.

The objective was to understand the perspective of nurses about the participation of the family in palliative cancer care and to analyze the nursing care strategies to meet their needs. Descriptive and qualitative research, conducted at the National Cancer Institute between January and March 2013, with 17 nurses. Elements of the Roy Adaptation Model were used for the interpretation of the data. Two categoriesemergedfrom the thematic analysis: perspective of nurses about the presence and valuation of family in the hospital; and appointing strategies to encourage family participation in care and meet their needs. This participation is essentialand represents a training opportunity for the purpose of homecare. Nurses create strategies to encourage it and seek to meet the needs. The results contribute to promote the family adaptation and integrity, in order to balance the dependent and independent behaviors, aimingfor quality of life and comfort. Further studies are neededdue to the challenges of the specialty.

PurposeThis paper aims to highlight the importance of (public) value(s) and publicness in accounting and accountability research. It pinpoints a range of issues that scholars need to contemplate when reconsidering publicness in accounting research and practice.Design/methodology/approachThe paper adopts an interdisciplinary literature review associated with a conceptual discussion of the actual and future challenges of public service accounting and accountability in considering public value(s).FindingsThe paper illustrates the centrality of (public) value(s) at the individual, organizational and societal levels in shaping and being shaped by calculative practices, and shows that looking at the interconnections between values and accounting is a fruitful research avenue. Moreover, it highlights the power of embracing interdisciplinary approaches to illuminate these interconnections and relate them to complex and current phenomena.Originality/valueThe paper’s originality lies in the reconsideration of (public) value(s) for public service accounting scholars, providing a critical reflection and setting new research avenues.

BACKGROUND: Cardiac failure is one of the most common chronic diseases with high rate of morbidity and mortality. Fatigue and decreased ability to perform daily activities are of the most common complications of this disease. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of an educational plan based on Roy adaptation model on fatigue and daily activities in patients with heart failure.METHODS: This experimental study was performed on 60 heart failure patients admitted in two educational hospitals supervised by the Kerman University of Medical Sciences in 2019. Sample was randomly assigned into two intervention and control groups. The intervention group received the care plan through a face-toface and group training program in 6 sessions at one month. Interval followed by a follow-up period for 4 weeks later. Fatigue level was calculated based on piper fatigue scale, and daily activities were calculated by Barthes scale.RESULTS: The finding indicated that there was a significant difference between the two groups (control and intervention) after the intervention. The result showed that the intervention group had significantly lower mean scores in fatigue and higher mean scores in daily activities compared to the control group after intervention P ≤ .05. There was a significant relationship between fatigue and daily activities of life with frequency of hospitalization and duration of disease in both groups, P ≤ .05.CONCLUSION: Implementation of Roy model-based education program as a low-cost, effective, and non-aggressive nursing intervention can reduce fatigue, and improve daily activities in patients with heart failure.

RESUMOObjetivo: operacionalizar o processo de Enfermagem para adolescentes em cuidados paliativos, baseado no Modelo de Adaptação de Roy, utilizando NANDA, Classificação dos Resultados de Enfermagem e Classificação das Intervenções de Enfermagem. Método: estudo qualitativo, no qual se adotou, como estratégia metodológica, o estudo de caso, realizado com dois adolescentes e famílias, por meio de visitas domiciliárias. Como referencial teórico, foi utilizado o Modelo de Adaptação de Callista Roy. Resultados: observou-se que os cuidados aos adolescentes e suas famílias favoreceram a adaptação, pois os jovens apresentaram melhora significativa frente aos estímulos; as condições socioeconômicas identificadas interferiram no bem-estar da família e da adolescente do sexo feminino e, consequentemente, percebeu-se o impacto gerado. Todavia, deve-se propor intervenções como orientações sobre o manejo dos sintomas apresentados e sessões de musicoterapia, contribuindo para a melhora no ambiente familiar, além da redução da ansiedade. Conclusão: as intervenções implementadas foram importantes para a substituição de respostas ineficazes por respostas adaptativas.

Method: a qualitative study, in which the case study, was adopted, as a methodological strategy, carried out with two adolescents and families, through home visits. As a theoretical reference, the Callista Roy Adaptation Model was used. Results: it was observed that the care to the adolescents and their families favored the adaptation, since the young showed a significant improvement in front of the stimuli; the identified socioeconomic conditions interfered with the well-being of the female family and adolescent, and consequently, the generated impact was perceived. However, one should propose interventions as guidelines on the management of the presented symptoms and sessions of music therapy, contributing to the improvement in the environment reduction of anxiety. Conclusion: the interventions implemented were important for the substitution of ineffective responses by adaptive responses.
