Family Case Management
Family health nursing is the practice of nursing directed toward maximizing the health and well-being of all individuals within a family system. Two views of a family are incorporated:
(1) family as the unit of care and
(2) family as context for individuals and family subsystems.
The Family Needs Model of family health nursing, created by Marcia Cooley and Claudia Smith.
Family case management
A public health nursing perspective for family case management includes outreach to find families in need, focus on prevention, and reliance on health teaching, counseling, and referral and follow-up with families (Minnesota Department of Health, 2001).
Public health nursing case management is “client-centered A nurse taking a health history during a family home visit. (Copyright CLG Photographics.) and relationship-based”
Family assessment
Nurse uses as many possible sources of data as is practical to help complete a comprehensive picture of the family and each member.
Interviewing families can be more difficult than interviewing an individual client
Families may first be seen in the hospital, clinic, community setting, or in their own homes.
Data that are essential to collect include the following:
Household composition
Health status and behaviors of all members
Interaction among the family members
The relationship of the family with its community
Assessing Family Subsystems
Families interact in small interpersonal groups.
Understanding the interactions and functioning of these dyads and triangles is important to understanding the functioning of the family and ascertaining available support.
Subsystems such as the parent–child subsystem, the marital pair, and the sibling subsystem should always be assessed.
Family Maps
A family map is used to diagram spatial and relationship qualities of a family system.
A map is drawn that details the subsystems, the boundaries between subsystems, and interactive patterns, such as coalitions, conflict, and avoidance
Genograms
A genogram is a format for drawing a family tree that records information about family members and their relationships for at least three generations (Cain, 1981; McGoldrick, Shellenberger, & Petry, 2008).
Genograms help community/public health nurses remember the family members, patterns, and significant events that are important in the family’s care.
The picture of the family that is presented in the genogram helps the observer think about the family systemically and over time.
Genogram construction may be divided into three parts:
1.Mapping the family structure
2.Recording family information
3.Delineating family relationships

Family Cultural Assessment
Assessing the Family within the Environment
Analyzing family data
The following steps can be used to help organize these data:
•Determining family needs or areas of concern
•Determining family style
•Determining family strengths
•Determining family functioning
•Determining targets of care
•Determining nursing’s contribution
•Determining priorities of identified health needs
Nursing Diagnoses for Environmental Problems
Income: Low/no income, uninsured medical expenses, difficulty with money management, able to buy only necessities, difficulty buying necessities, other
Sanitation: Soiled living area, inadequate food storage/disposal, insects/rodents, foul odor, inadequate laundry facilities, allergens, infectious/contaminating agents, mold, excessive pets, other
Residence: Structurally unsound, inadequate heating/cooling, steep stairs, inadequate/obstructed exits/entries, cluttered living space, unsafe storage of dangerous objects/substances, unsafe mats/throw rugs, inadequate safety devices, presence of lead-based paint, unsafe gas/electric appliances, inadequate/crowded living space, homeless, other
Neighborhood and workplace safety: High crime rate, high pollution level, uncontrolled animals, physical hazards, unsafe play areas, other
Determining Family Strengths
Clients and families in the community are often categorized according to their weaknesses.
In spite of problems, families have many helpful and healthy behaviors that carry them through.
Family strengths are positive behaviors or qualities that help maintain family health.
Family strengths are really the key to a successful intervention.
Determining Family Functioning
The final component of the Family Needs Model is the area of family functioning.
Remember that, in this context, family functioning means family effectiveness in achieving and maintaining physical, emotional, interpersonal, and occupational health.
Looking at family functioning helps the nurse answer the following questions:
“To what extent can goals be accomplished?”
“What is the potential for change?”
“How much energy is available for growth and change?”

Determining Targets of Care
Targets of care are different levels of the system, including individuals, dyads, the whole family unit, or the community, that may be recipients of nurse and family actions.
Determining targets of care involves asking the following questions: “Who will be involved in the care?”
“Who is the most likely person in the family to be able to change her or his own behavior?”
“Who is likely to communicate with or assert power over other members?”
“What members are so burdened by problems that they need support rather than new challenges?”
Determining the Nurse’s Contribution
Determining the nurse’s contribution asks the following question: “What can the nurse do for and with this family?”
The nurse needs to define a focus not only for the family but also for self.
The needs of the family may be beyond the scope of the nurse’s competence or energy, and time and resources become a factor in making decisions about what a nurse can do.
The agency and reimbursement mechanisms also dictate the nurse’s role
Determining Priorities of Identified Needs
When determining priorities of needs, the nurse asks the following questions:
“What is most crucial?”
“What is the most essential or necessary?”
“What is possible given current constraints?”
“What is most likely to empower the family to act in healthy ways on behalf of itself in the future?”
Developing a plan
Planning family nursing care occurs after the family system is assessed and data are analyzed in a systematic way.
Priorities are determined with the family.
The level of family functioning will affect the type and extent to which goals can be achieved
Principles of Family Care Planning
Personalization
Mutuality
Realistic Goals
Values and Health Care Beliefs
Coordination with the Health Care Team
Defining Self
Implementing the plan
Helping the Family Cope with Illness or Loss
Teaching the Family Experiencing Developmental Changes
Every family has to deal with the experiences of members who grow older and confront day-to-day life in new ways.
Many families add or lose members as the family reproduces, the children grow to adulthood, and the family ages.
The developmental stage of a family will indicate typical tasks that need to be completed
The nurse’s role when dealing with families that are confronting developmental demands is primarily educational
Connecting the Family to Needed Resources and Support
Resources, including social support, contribute to family well-being. Families that access resources and experience social support are better able both to prevent and to cope with life stressors.
For example, one qualitative research study conducted by nurses explored how families managed mental illness
Mobilizing Resources
Strengthening Social Support
Helping the Family Remain Healthy within the Environment
The world in which families live is resource rich, and our society performs many functions that used to be the responsibility of the family.
Families and family members are healthier and have access to many more living aids than did families in the past.
However, today’s world is also a potential threat to health in many ways.
Pollutants in the air, water, soil, food, homes, schools, and occupational settings are threats to family health
Evaluation
Methods:
Two methods of evaluation are formative and summative evaluation. Formative evaluation occurs during the course of nurse–family interactions.
Summative evaluation occurs at the end of the family–nurse relationship and is used to summarize the value of the interaction to the family
Factors Influencing Evaluation
