The effect of Roy Adaptation Model on the quality of life and general health of elderly people in nursing homes: randomized controlled trial.
Trial report in BMC geriatrics, 2025. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 3 papers.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundBecause of longer life expectancies and fewer births, aging is becoming a bigger worldwide public health problem. It is essential to attend to the physical, psychological, and social needs of the aging population, especially in nations like Iran. The Roy Adaptation Model (RAM), a comprehensive framework for enhancing older adults' well-being, is one model that can direct such interventions. The purpose of this study was to assess how an educational program based on the Roy Adaptation Model affected the general health and quality of life of elderly citizens that reside in nursing homes.
methodsForty four elderly residents of a nursing home in Khoy, Iran, were selected using a randomized controlled trial (RCT) design using a pretest-posttest methodology. They were then randomized to either the intervention group (n = 22) or the control group (n = 22). The General Health Questionnaire (GHQ-28) and the Older People's Quality of Life Questionnaire (OPQOL-brief) were used to assess the performance of the intervention group before and six weeks after the intervention. The intervention group received four specially designed educational sessions based on the framework of the Roy Adaptation Model.
resultsThe participants' average age was 66.67 ± 5.44 years. The quality of life scores of the intervention group improved statistically significantly after the intervention (from 35.54 to 39.77; p < .001). The general health score also showed a significant improvement, falling from 38.40 to 34.18 (p < .001), indicating improved health. The quality of life (p < .001) and general health (p = .038) scores of the intervention group were considerably higher than those of the control group at the post-test.
conclusionThe Roy Adaptation Model-based educational programs seem to be a successful strategy for raising the standard of living and fostering general health among senior citizens living in assisted living facilities.
