[Analysis of the concept of family nursing. Family systems nursing and family-centered nursing as closely related concepts].

The article analyses the concept of family nursing, which is defined and described by reference to its key characteristics (e.g. Rodgers 1989, Meleis 1991). Other, closely related and to some extent even substitutable concepts identified in the article are family systems nursing and family-centered nursing. The broad area of family therapy is excluded from the discussion since the purpose is to concentrate on the nursing of healthy families. Family nursing is defined in three different ways depending on the place and the role of the family on practical nursing: family as a context, as a sum of its parts and as a client. Concept of family-centered nursing is included in these three levels, but also levels minimal emphasis on family and family therapy, which are not included in the concept of family nursing. However, it is concluded that the two concepts can be regarded as closely related. Family systems nursing can be regarded either as one sub-concept to family nursing and family-centered nursing or as a kindred concept. It is suggested that a serious debate should be started in Finland on these concepts and that research should be undertaken in different nursing situations to find out how these concepts occur in reality.

Family nursing education and family nursing practice in Nigeria.

A survey of six Nigerian nursing program curricula was conducted to determine the extent to which family nursing theory was used as a reference for conceptualizing nursing care in Nigeria. In addition, 25 nurse clinicians were purposely selected from three levels of primary, secondary, and tertiary health care units in Ile-Ife, Nigeria, and were interviewed to determine the extent to which nurses in practice reported using family assessment tools in their practice. The survey of the postgraduate curricula showed that master's and doctorally prepared nurses specializing in community health nursing have a theoretical base in family nursing theory. The limited focus on family nursing theory in basic, postbasic, and first-degree nursing curricula was deemed inadequate to develop the knowledge and skills necessary for all practicing nurses to embrace family-focused care in Nigeria. In nursing practice, families were seen to be involved in nursing care only to the extent of meeting financial and physical care needs of their family members. Findings from this study point to the need for a reorientation of the nursing curricula in Nigeria to include more family nursing theory. Specialized education of family nurse practitioners who would function at all levels of care also is a desirable goal to provide holistic health care to Nigerian families.

Adapting the Neuman systems model for family nursing.

Family nursing is in the early stages of development, and there is often difficulty in translating nursing conceptual frameworks into terms that are less abstract and more readily usable in the family practice arena. Yet the conversion of abstract ideas to concrete descriptions is necessary if nursing theory-based practice is to expand. This article describes the client system known as family within the Neuman systems model. Based on clinical data and the experience of nurses using the Neuman model in practice, a description of the family as client is developed. The five variables of Neuman's model are identified and the terms used in describing the family system are clarified. A rationale for the application is also presented.

The effects of family nursing and family medicine clinical rotations on nursing and medical students' self-efficacy for health promotion counseling.

The effects of community-based family nursing and medicine clinical rotations on students' confidence in their knowledge and ability to counsel clients in selected health promotion areas were examined from the perspective of Bandura's (1986) self-efficacy theory. Nursing students (n=66) enrolled in a community family nursing course and medical students (n=71) enrolled in a 6-week family practice clerkship rotation completed questionnaires at three points: prior to, at completion of, and 3 months following their clinical rotations. Nursing and medical students' self-efficacy levels at pretest were similar. At-posttest, nursing students' self-efficacy was significantly higher than that of the medical students. This difference was sustained at 3 months follow up. Students' conception of health (clinical vs. nonclinical) did not have an effect on posttest self-efficacy levels. Self-efficacy scores accounted for 63% of the variance in the nursing students' self-reported use of health promotion principles in their daily practice; but only 11% of the variance in medical students' daily practice. The results of this exploratory study provide information to guide theory-informed curricular decisions to design clinical learning activities that foster the development of health promotion counseling skills in both nursing and medical students.

Air Force family nurse practitioner and family physician perception of the family nurse practitioner role in military operations other than war.

The inevitable result of changing world events and defense requirements is that the family nurse practitioner (FNP) will take on a more active role in the deployed setting, especially in military operations other than war. What is the perception of the FNP and family physician of the role of the FNP in these missions? Because of the collaborative role between these two provider groups, it is important to compare these perceptions to ensure quality collaborative care. Respondents were requested to rate their perceptions regarding the ability of the FNP to treat 65 categories of patients. Analysis revealed that there was a significant difference among the providers concerning the FNP role. Several perceived barriers were also identified. Because of this difference, the FNP may not be fully utilized. In addition, this study provides insight regarding the training needs perceived to adequately prepare FNPs for their deployment role.

Family nursing in intensive care. Part One: Is family nursing appropriate in intensive care?

Over the past 10 years there has been a growing body of literature on family nursing. Although the term 'family nursing' is not one which is in common use in the UK, a significant amount of literature has appeared which discusses issues relating to the nursing support of families with a member who is ill. This paper will review the concepts involved and will then discuss the appropriateness of such an approach within the specialty of intensive care. As the paper concludes that family nursing could be an appropriate approach to nursing the patient in this type of area, it would seem logical to consider what needs the family may have. The research concerning the identification of the needs of families when they have a member in intensive care is discussed in part two.

Educational collaboration and innovation. The nurse-midwifery and family nurse practitioner programs at the University of New Mexico.

The University of New Mexico College of Nursing Nurse-Midwifery and Family Nurse Practitioner programs are successfully implementing an educational program founded on a shared vision and core. The curriculum design and methods of implementation facilitate study by students distant from the College, clinical learning experiences in rural areas, and dual preparation. Shared application of faculty resources results in availing students of a variety of expertise and cost-effectiveness.

Linking family theory and practice: a family nursing program.

Family nursing, always a component of nursing, has been recently receiving increased attention through publications, educational programs, clinical practice settings and family nursing research. Nurses are in the best position to assist families experiencing the illness of a loved one, but often lack the skills and confidence necessary to assist with the psychosocial needs. The purpose of this paper is to describe the development and implementation of a family nursing program within a large, tertiary care facility. The program's evaluation is ongoing but early outcomes indicate that day-to-day nursing practice has been positively influenced and improved job satisfaction may result.

Critical care family needs: nurse-family member confederate pairs.

In this study we explored the relationship between critical care family members' perceived needs and the assessment of these needs by a confederate sample of intensive care unit (ICU) nurses. Family needs were measured by using Molter's revised Critical Care Family Needs Inventory. Data consisted of 92 confederate pairs of Critical Care Family Needs Inventory responses obtained from 92 family members of adult patients hospitalized in a variety of ICUs and 49 ICU nurses providing direct care for these patients. Paired t tests (two tailed) were calculated to detect significant differences between confederate pairs of family members' perceptions and ICU nurses' assessments of the importance of the needs studied. Family members' perceptions and ICU nurses' assessments of the most and least important critical care family needs were identified. Significant (p less than 0.001 to p less than 0.05) differences were detected between confederate pairs of family members' perceptions and ICU nurses' assessments of the importance of 15 (50%) of the critical care family needs studied. Therefore, it appears that these nurses were only moderately accurate in their assessments of critical care family needs. Implications for nursing practice, education, and research were identified and discussed.
