A dynamic family practice information system for enhanced financial management.

The definition of the fiscal unit/family structure has enabled users of the FMIS, or family practices in Colorado and Wyoming, to maintain accurate, ongoing financial information on their patients. In turn, this structure has been a major incentive for maintaining accurate family information, and a distinct benefit to FMIS users. This article has presented the rationale, design, and method of implementation of the fiscal unit structure, with the intention of presenting this concept to others for use in other information systems used in maintaining family-oriented financial and medical information for medical practices.

Dynamics of families during the third trimester of pregnancy in southwest Finland.

Transition to a changed family structure during pregnancy brings into focus the family's dynamics. To describe these dynamics during the third trimester of a healthy pregnancy, the Family Dynamics Measure was administered to 136 mothers and 131 fathers in southwest Finland. Mothers and fathers reported differences in 4 of the 6 dimensions of family dynamics. Clearer communication was perceived by mothers of higher social status. Second-time parents perceived greater isolation and role conflict than first-time parents. Findings contribute cues for specific family guidance by nurses during the transition to parenthood regarding partner differences, parity and social status.

Family representations in relationship episodes of patients with a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa.

The influence of the family on the development and the maintenance of bulimia nervosa can be seen both biologically and psychosocially. Genetic influences are discussed, but their effects do not explain the aetiology exclusively. Clinical observations and research findings support the role of family dynamics, family environment, and family functioning. In particular, a low level of cohesion, a lower degree of expressiveness, and more conflicts seem to characterize the family of patients with a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa. The present study addresses the question of how patients suffering from bulimia differ from other patients in psychotherapy and from non-clinical control subjects in the way they perceive their ongoing and their past family relationships. The Core Conflictual Relationship Theme method is applied to narrative material from patients belonging to these three groups. Results show expected differences between patients and normal control subjects and virtually no differences between the group of patients with a diagnosis of bulimia nervosa and the group of patients with diagnoses different from bulimia.
