The continuing shift in health care provision from hospitals into
the community places an increasing burden on the family as the
primary source of care. This volume looks at how nurses can adopt a
more collaborative approach to working with families to both
facilitate their task as carers and promote the health and
well-being of the whole family. The first part of the book explores
the theoretical underpinnings of family nursing, drawing insights
from family therapy and systems theory and looks for a definition
of the family which is appropriate to all situations including
co-habiting couples, families separated by divorce, blended
families and homosexual couples. The book goes on to establish the
principles of family nursing explaining the process of making
assessments, planning interventions and evaluating progress.
Chapters on caring for chronically and terminally ill children,
patients in intensive care, adolescent problems, the elderly and
children with learning disabilities demonstrate the scope for
applying family nursing strategies widely both in the community and
in hospital.
