Abstract
|
|
|
Family is a universial group in human society which is familiar to us and it is .a social system which results in psychological and emotional satisfactions such as affection, confidence and respect through role exchanges and human relationship, among family members.
The structure and function of family are diverse, so the definitions of family are diverse too. Furthermore, with development of technology since the Industrial Revolution, the - structure and function of family have been changed. Therefore more attention to study of family has been asked and study of theory of family has been needed.
Here, heavy stress is on family for nursing, because it is hardly imagined that an individual is aloof from family, because his health can be promoted by his family, because the structure and function of family can be changed by diseases of family, and because persistent and wholly-personal administration of medicine is possible through family.
It is assumed that community nursing in the future should be family-centered. Therefore, community nursing should raise nurse´s ability for working with families and should help them for more health through acknowledging her duty for family health.
For these goals, family nurse practitioner or home visiting nurse practitioner who are oriented to family-centered nursing is needed to be raised systematically, resulting in promoting health of all people.
