Background:

• Roy's Adaptation Model provides a framework for understanding nursing care.
• The Accident and Emergency (A & E) setting presents unique challenges for patient care.

Observation:

• This article examines the applicability of Roy's Adaptation Model in the A & E environment.
• A case study involving a patient with severe chest pain is used to illustrate the model's application.

Findings:

• The study analyzes the core concepts of Roy's Adaptation Model.
• It assesses the model's relevance and feasibility for A & E nursing practice.

Implications:

• Findings suggest potential benefits of using Roy's Adaptation Model in A & E settings.
• Further consideration of the model's integration into A & E protocols is warranted.
