    Family- Nurse

    Contacts
    Family- Nurse Contacts
    The family-nurse relationship is developed
    through family nurse contacts, which may take the
    form of a clinic visit, group conference, telephone
    contact, written communication, or home visit. The
    nurse uses the type of family-nurse contact that is
    most suitable to the purpose or situation at hand.
     Clinic Visit
     Group Conference
     Telephone
     Written Communication
     Home Visit
    CLINIC VISIT
     Takes place in a private clinic, health center, barangay health
    station, or in a ambulatory clinic during a community outreach
    activity.
     The major advantage - family member takes the initiative of
    visiting the professional health worker, usually indicating the
    family’s readiness to participate in the health center process.
     Allows the nurse to maximize resources (time, other health
    care providers to whom the client can be referred as needed,
    and material resources).
     Constraint - when the family is unable to transport the family
    member requiring nursing care.
    GROUP CONFERENCE

     such as a conference of mothers in the


    neighborhood, provides an opportunity for
    initial contact between the nurse and target
    families of the community.
     appropriate for developing cooperation,
    leadership, self-reliance, and/or community
    awareness among group members.
     attendance usually requires motivation and
    availability of target family members.
    TELEPHONE

     provides easy access between the nurse/health


    worker and the family.
     encouraging the family to communicate with the
    clinic or health center when they feel the need for it
    cultivates the family’s confidence in the health
    agency.
     information transmitted through is limited.
     accurate assessment of family conditions usually
    requires face to face contact
    WRITTEN COMMUNICATION

    • is used to give specific information to


    families, such as instructions given to
    parents through school children.
    • Although there is a potential for reaching
    many families, being a one-way method
    and requiring literacy and interest, the
    nurse cannot be certain that the information
    will reach the intended recipient
    HOME VISIT
    A professional, purposeful interaction that
    takes place in the family’s residence aimed
    at promoting, maintaining or restoring the
    health of the family or its members.
     instead of the family going to the nurse,
    the nurse goes to the family.
    Advantages:
    o It allows firsthand assessment of the home situation: family dynamics,
    environmental factors affecting health, and resources within the home.
    o The nurse is able to seek out previously unidentified needs.
    o It gives the nurse an opportunity to adapt interventions according to family
    resources.
    o It promotes family participation and focuses on the family as a unit.
    o Teaching family members in the home is made easier by the familiar
    environment and the recognition of the need to learn as they are faced by
    the actual home situation.
    o The personalize nature of a home visit gives the family a sense of
    confidence in themselves and in the agency.
    Disadvantage

    o relates to efficiency: the cost in terms of time and


    effort.
    o because the nurse is unable to control the
    environment, there are more distractions in the
    home.
    o nurse’s safety may also be a concern
    Thank you!
