In this study we explored the adaptation of transplant recipients in T urkey using the R oy A daptation M odel. A descriptive qualitative design was used with data collected from liver transplant recipients in either individual or group interviews between M ay 2009 and F ebruary 2010. Using deductive content analysis, four themes were identified in the data: physiological mode, self‐concept mode, role function mode, and interdependence mode. Each theme included both adaptive and ineffective behaviors of liver transplant recipients. The findings of this study indicate that liver transplant recipients need information and support about their ineffective behaviors in all modes of the R oy A daptation M odel. The findings also support the use of a nursing model in the delivery of nursing care for liver transplantation recipients.
