Introduction: Cervical cancer has created a devastating impression on women's lives worldwide. The diagnosis and management of cervical cancer can have a major impact on every aspect of a patient's quality of life. The use of Roy's Adaptation Model helps to increase the compliance and life expectancy, thereby helps in improving the quality of life. Aim: To assess the effectiveness of Roy's Adaptation Model to improve the quality of life of patients with cervical cancer. Materials and Methods: Quasi Experimental Research Design was used. 30 cervical cancer patients, who met the inclusion criteria, were recruited by non probability purposive sampling technique. Nursing Assessment Tool was prepared according to Roy's Adaptation Model. Reliability of the tool was found to be 0.95. After completing the assessment, maladaptive behaviors of the patients were determined. Oral counseling and an information booklet based on Roy's Adaptation Model was given. Post assessment was carried after two weeks. Results: Findings revealed that, before the application of Roy's Adaptation Model, the majority (66.7%) of the samples had an average quality of life, 23.3% of them had good quality of life and 10% of the cervical cancer patients had poor quality of life. After the intervention, 66.7% had good quality of life and 33.3% had an average quality of life. Paired t-test was done for assessing the effect of Roy's Adaptation Model on quality of life. Average quality of life score for cancer patients increased after the post test and therefore, the null hypothesis was rejected. Roy's Adaptation Model was found to be significantly effective in improving the quality of life of patients with cervical cancer. Association between quality of life of cervical cancer patients with selected demographic variables was assessed using Fisher's Exact test. Marital status was found to have significant association (p <0.005) with the quality of life of patients with cervical cancer.
