Introduction: A person's learning to live with the disease is associated with the adaptation to the disease. This is why the patient’s own care is an important factor. Nurses can benefit from nursing theories for the quality of health care services. One of the theories that guide nurses is the ROY adaptation model. This model facilitates the adaptation of the individual to the disease with the care provided by the nurses, thus ensuring continuity of care. Objective: To ensure that the patient accepts the disease and adopts the process of adjustment, to contribute to the use of the theory-based nursing practices and the adoption of the theories by raising awareness of the newly started nursing candidates. Method: the patient’s work data is collected with permission. Data for the areas included in the ROY adaptation model from the patient who is sleeping in the neurological service have been collected and nursing applications have been carried out. The findings: the individual found that there were a lot of developing problems related to the disease, the patient was unable to adapt to the disease. According to the obtained data, nursing practices have been carried out, addressing the nursing diagnoses of "uncompatibility with the treatment and desires", "anxiety", "disruption in family relationships" and "changes in the family process". The result: the fact that the patients diagnosed with epilepsy are forced to continue their lives with periodic attacks, affects the family life of the patients and causes the role to be complicated. In the patient with insufficiency, the treatment and rehabilitation process is affected. It is important to improve the quality of life and self-esteem of individuals, to ensure symptom management. This can only be achieved by ensuring people to adapt to the disease and providing the ability to manage the disease. With the Roy adaptation model, the patient can be assessed by an integrated approach, the person, the family, can be adapted to the disease. I think the initiatives to the data collected according to this model will contribute to the management of symptoms, by improving the quality of life, self-respect, and adaptation to the disease. Therefore, it is important to ensure the acceptance and conformity of the disease, which is the prerequisite of treatment and care.
