Nursing Care Applied to a Pregnant Woman Diagnosed with Preeclampsia According to the Roy Adaptation Model: A Case Report

Introduction. Preeclampsia is a complex, multisystem disorder characterized by hypertension and proteinuria, typically manifesting in the second half of pregnancy. Beyond elevated blood pressure and proteinuria, it involves widespread systemic effects that pose significant health risks to both the mother and fetus. Pregnancy complicated by preeclampsia presents unique challenges that require comprehensive and structured nursing care. Nursing theories and models provide a valuable framework for delivering such individualized care. Aim. This case report aims to describe the nursing care provided to a pregnant woman diagnosed with preeclampsia at 29 weeks’ gestation, utilizing Roy’s Adaptation Model (RAM) as a guiding framework. Case study. To ensure confidentiality, the patient is referred to by the initials S.K. Following informed consent, data were gathered through observation, interviews, and review of medical records. The patient’s condition was assessed within RAM’s adaptive modes, including self-concept, role function, and interdependence. Conclusion. Based on these assessments, targeted nursing interventions were developed and implemented to support adaptation and optimize health outcomes.
