The Middle-Range Theory of the Adapting Family: From Theory to Practice
1Holy Family University, Philadelphia, PA, USA.
Abstract:
The middle-range theory of the adapting family, derived from the Roy adaptation model, was chosen as the guiding framework for the newly formed Family Center at Holy Family University. The committee governing the Family Center supported the application of this theory to the provision of resources to families through education, counseling, consultation, and advocacy. The concepts of stimuli, coping processes, and outcomes of the middle-range theory of the adapting family are examined. Services offered, including the parenting workshops, retirement workshops, and the cakes for kids program, are explained with detailed examples of how the theory is used in practice.
