Description

Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop family-centered strategies for support and guidance.

This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for the second assignment in Topic 3.

Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health patterns for each of the following:

  1. Values/Health Perception
  2. Nutrition
  3. Sleep/Rest
  4. Elimination
  5. Activity/Exercise
  6. Cognitive
  7. Sensory-Perception
  8. Self-Perception
  9. Role Relationship
  10. Sexuality
  11. Coping

Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the interview.

Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper. Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an appendix with your assignment.

Include the following in your paper:

  1. Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity, social class, spirituality, and environment.
  2. Summarize the overall health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health of the family.
  3. Based on your findings, describe at least two of the functional health pattern strengths noted in the findings. Discuss three areas in which health problems or barriers to health were identified.
  4. Describe how family systems theory can be applied to solicit changes in family members that, in turn, initiate positive changes to the overall family functions over time.

Introduction
Research demonstrates that the wellbeing of people in a nuclear family is influenced by
the general family wellbeing. As indicated by Kaakinen, Coehlo, Steele, & Robinson, (2018),

age to age. While the rate of illnesses isn't exclusively reliant on the family foundation of people,
the hereditary piece of the family contributes essentially to the soundness of the individuals
(Costa & Ciosak, 2010). The practices and routine exercises of the relatives notwithstanding
their family ancestry straightforwardly impact the health of the relatives.
Family Structure
For my exploration, I met a conventional family unit of five individuals. The family has a
father and a mother. The dad is the leader of the family and the provider. He is forty-nine years
old American who owns a construction firm. The mother is a forty-six-year-old lecturer at a local
university. Their first-conceived child is 17 years of age and goes to a nearby junior college.
Their second conceived child is a 15 years-old who just finished grade 10, and their last
conceived is 11 years who is in 6th grade. All the relatives are Catholic Christians, and they think
