...Family Values Paper Tiffani Lee NURS/542 July, 9 2012 Felicia Rohrbaugh Family Values Paper Family is defined differently by each individual, based on one’s personal experiences. Family is not always individuals related by blood. In health care not only do we take care of the patients, we take care of their families as well. Families defined in health care would be the support system of the individual whose health is compromised. In the health care setting family roles can defer based on the patient’s condition. In a step down unit the patients are more so stabilized, so the families play a major role in providing care, and making decisions for those patients who cannot care for themselves. As a health care provider, it is important to know and understand the role of the family system in health promotion, the concept of family in nursing practice, and application of the appropriate family nursing theory. Family System in Health Promotion The United States Census Bureau defines family as “two or more people (one of whom is the householder) related by birth, marriage, or adoption residing in the same housing unit” (“United States Census Bureau,” 2011, para 2). The Census Bureau definition is inclusive of a variety of household structures to allow large, small, married adults with our without children, single parent, gay and lesbian, heterosexual, and adoptive families. The family plays a large role in the health of its members. According to Friedman...

...Family Values Paper Cynthia Dulaney Rucker NUR/542 Version 2 April 2, 2012 Melinda Church Family Values Paper Family Values Family is a term that is defined by each family member in different ways, it is based on someone’s personal belief, expectation, and experiences. The family role in the health care setting can vary based on the patient’s condition. In the dialsysis unit the families play a large role especially, for those individuals whom lose his or her ability to provide self-care and make self-care decisions. As a health care provider it is important to understand and remember that even though every day realities of families such as emotions, attitudes, perceptions, and beliefs are essential in the study of family and current family theory. Family System/Concept of Family For a family system to have a positive role in a dialysis facility, the family must serve as a system in support of the individual family member. The family often plays a role in assisting in the plan of care, as the individual suffering from kidney disease will have the support system needed in caring for themselves and will not have to serve as the sole provider of self- care. In some cases the ill individual cannot play a role in self-care. The family can play a role in the individual’s recovery by coming together as one to support healing, or simply identifying, and achieving individual health goals. All individuals in the dialysis unit develop a plan...

...Family Health and Nursing Practice University of Phoenix NUR 542: Dynamics of Family Systems May 25, 2010 Traditional hospital based nursing care is most often care provided to individual patients. Individual patients, however, are members of a family. Family nursing practice has evolved over the past 20 years as a way to approach and work with families. Effective nursing care ensures that the entire family’s situation, not only the illness of the loved one, is considered (Maijala & Astedt-Kurki, 2009). A goal for family nursing practice in the hospital setting will be to focus on three areas simultaneously; care of the ill patient, the interpersonal aspects of the family and the family as a whole (Eggenberger & Nelms, 2007). This paper will discuss the importance of the family as a system to promote health, define family in a hospital based setting, and identify the family nursing theory applicable to care for the hospitalized patient and family. The Family System and Promotion of Health for its Members The importance of family in the health of our society is directly related to our smallest community of society-the family. “Family transmits society’s demands and values and furthers its preservation” (Burchard, 2005). Family has a goal of meeting the needs of its members and is the main source of information, learning behaviors, thoughts and feelings. Healthy growth and development has been viewed as the most vital role of the family, providing crucial development...

...Family Value Paper Siana Stone NUR 542 March 11, 2013 University of Phoenix Family Value Paper This family value paper individual assignment will discuss the concept of family nursing that has developed into a fundamental aspect of nursing. Research of nursing has shown that individual poor health affects the entire family and not only an individual, plus, the effectiveness of health care is improved when emphasis is placed on family (Harmon & Hansen, 2001). There was no conceptual theoretical framework that was found in family nursing. Friedman, Bowden and Jones (2003), discussed the lack of a complete family nursing theory with their proposal “nurses must draw upon multiple theories to work effectively with families” (p. 62). This particular subject matter will discuss the family system and theories related to the up-and-coming to unite with family nursing. This will also portray stratagem to integrate nursing theories in the practice of family nursing. This includes family work as a system, concept of area of nursing practice, most helpful area in my nursing of practice, chosen concept of family and why is it helpful, theories conducive in the area of my practice and last, the conclusion. Family work as a system Family must first define themselves to have a better understanding on how to work as a family nursing system. In real life family is composed primarily mother, father, single, and married children. Family must have unity to function...

...Latino Teen Pregnancies By Jennifer Mick June 19, 2012 Cindy Sessler NUR/542 Latino Teen Pregnancies There are many family types that can be considered high-risk. When dealing with these high risk families it is important to not make assumptions, get to know the members of the family, identify family strengths and needs, and implement a plan that has the most benefit the family and can accomplish the best outcomes. Teen pregnancy, especially in the Latino/Hispanic community is on the rise and higher than most other ethnicities and races. This paper will discuss teen pregnancy as a high risk family type, will address common health problems and mortality data for this family type, and will identify three to four health promotion and disease prevention objectives that are applicable to this family type. Summary of Health Profile In the 1990s, in the United States, teen pregnancy and birth rates were on the decline. Data obtained from 2006 indicated that teen pregnancy rates were back on the rise. Latina teens, teens who are in the foster care system, and those who belong to gang groups are populations with a high rate of teen pregnancies. There are many downsides and negativities associated with teen pregnancies such as lack of education, they are more apt to live in poverty neighborhoods, are more likely to be on welfare and public assistance, and more likely to be in poor health. In 2004 teen pregnancy cost...

...High-Risk Family Assessment and Health Promotion Paper Corey Hollmann University of Phoenix NUR/542 6/30/2014 Danielle Patrick High-Risk Family Assessment and Health Promotion-Suicidal Ideation Suicide and ideation to commit this final act, is a grave public health concern that is multifaceted and responsible for significant family risk. Suicide is a behavior that has worldwide resulted in nearly one million fatalities annually. Suicide is commonly an act driven by impulsivity and followed by thoughts of hopelessness and doom. In the United States, firearms, particularly handguns, are the most common means of suicide. Despite extreme notoriety, suicide and suicidal ideation remained stigmatized and hidden behind shadows of shame. Acts of deliberate self-harm and unsuccessful attempts remain largely underreported (Fleischmann et al., 2008; Freedenthal, 2007). Summary of Suicide Risk Health Profile The incidence of suicide has remained a significant health risk across multiple demographics, cultures, and sexes. In between the years 1999 and 2008, the suicide rate increased 10.5% and from 10.5 to 11.6 people per 100,000 population. Male's record rates that are four times greater than females while non-Hispanic whites recorded 14.1 suicides per 100,000 (National Vital Statistics System, 2008). Suicide is a behavior that exudes complexity that is characterized by methods to potentiate intentional termination of one's own life. The World Health Organization (WHO) has...

...High-Risk Family Assessment and Health Promotion Mary Ann Bennett University of Phoenix NUR/542 Melinda Church August 6, 2012 High-Risk Family Assessment and Health Promotion Assessing health needs is a fundamental nursing skill. Unfortunately, many nurses only associate the assessment process to the individual patient they are caring for and fail to assess and address the needs of the entire family. Performing a family assessment is vital, especially when working with high risk individuals and groups. High risk families can be defined as those families with a higher than expected risk for developing a particular disease or injury in association to their lifestyle, environment, habits, or socio-economic conditions. Post active-duty war veterans are a group that is at high risk for developing Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), which can lead to physical, psychological, and social problems. These problems not only affect the veteran but also strongly alter the health and lifestyle of the entire family. The objective of this paper is to present the health profile and behaviors of PTSD veterans, describe assessment models and theories that are applicable to the patient and family, and identify Healthy People 2020 objectives that relate to this high risk group. In addition, the paper will present nurse intervention strategies based on health promotion and prevention as well as the role of advanced practice nurses as case managers. Health Profile ...

...ork2012 - 2013 Catalog A Message from the President “Sullivan University is truly a unique and student success focused institution.” I have shared that statement with numerous groups and it simply summarizes my basic philosophy of what Sullivan is all about. When I say that Sullivan is “student success focused,” I feel as President that I owe a definition of this statement to all who are considering Sullivan University. First, Sullivan is unique among institutions of higher education with its innovative, career-first curriculum. You can earn a career diploma or certificate in a year or less and then accept employment while still being able to complete your associate, bachelor’s, master’s or doctoral degree by attending during the day, evenings, weekends, or online. Business and industry do not expand or hire new employees only in May or June each year. Yet most institutions of higher education operate on a nine-month school year with almost everyone graduating in May. We remained focused on your success and education, and continue to offer our students the opportunity to begin classes or to graduate four times a year with our flexible, year-round full-time schedule of classes. If you really want to attend a school where your needs (your real needs) come first, consider Sullivan University. I believe we can help you exceed your expectations. Since words cannot fully describe the atmosphere at Sullivan University, please accept my personal invitation to visit and experience...
