Roy Adaptation Model (RAM): To formulate a care plan in the
intervention group, Roy model understanding form was used .the form for
examining maladaptive behaviors in four modes of physiologic (50
question), self-concept (22 question), role function (10 question) and
(8 question) for interdependence of the patient mode[17]. The form for the verification of Roy model,
which is a standard form, was confirmed in the study by[14] using test-retest reliability test with
correlation coefficient of 0.75. In this study, Cronbach’s alpha method
was used for determining reliability, and reliability coefficient was
reported as 0.85.
