Growing the science of Family Systems Nursing: Family health intervention research focused on illness suffering and family healing
(Chenelière Éducation, 2015) Bell, Janice M.
The purpose of this book chapter is to review the current science of Family Systems Nursing (FSN) and describe programs of family health intervention research that have contributed unique knowledge about FSN nursing interventions with families experiencing illness. All of these programs of FSN intervention research have boldly challenged the predominant belief within “good science” that before intervention research can be designed and conducted, there first must be a thorough understanding of the phenomenon, i.e., an in-depth knowledge of the variables that mediate families’ response to health and illness. Since the early 1980’s, FSN researchers have been courageously immersed in actual nursing practice with families experiencing illness while researching, mentoring, supervising, examining, and evaluating advanced nursing practice with families. They felt called to answer two central questions: “What are nurses actually doing and saying that is helpful to families in their experience of illness suffering?” and “How can FSN knowledge be implemented by practicing nurses in health care settings?” In the process, they uncovered a circular interactional relationship between practice and research with each informing and enhancing the other. This chapter offers exemplars of programs of FSN intervention research from around the world that used “going inside FSN interventions” to describe and evaluate the nursing actions that diminish or soften illness suffering in families. Programs of FSN intervention research have also focused on “translating FSN interventions” in practice settings. Recommendations for future research are offered that include an even greater commitment to research focused on actual nursing practice with families and a broader, larger systems focus that uses knowledge translation methodology to examine multisystemic variables that influence how FSN knowledge can be better translated and sustained in the practice of health care with families.

How rural and urban parents describe convenience in the context of school-based influenza vaccination: a qualitative study
(BioMed Central Health Services Research, 2015-01-22) Lind, Candace
Background Seasonal influenza vaccine uptake among school-age children has been low, particularly among rural children, even in jurisdictions in Canada where this immunization is publicly funded. Providing this vaccination at school may be convenient for parents and might contribute to increased vaccine uptake, particularly among rural children. We explore the construct of convenience as an advantage of school based influenza vaccination. We also explore for rural urban differences in this construct. Methods Participants were parents of school-aged children from Alberta, Canada. We qualitatively analyzed focus group data from rural parents using a thematic template that emerged from prior work with urban parents. Both groups of parents had participated in focus groups to explore their perspectives on the acceptability of adding an annual influenza immunization to the immunization program that is currently delivered in Alberta schools. Data from within the theme of ‘convenience’ from both rural and urban parents were then further explored for sub-themes within convenience. Results Data were obtained from nine rural and nine urban focus groups. The template of themes that had arisen from prior analysis of the urban data applied to the rural data. Convenience was a third level theme under Advantages. Five fourth level themes emerged from within convenience. Four of the five sub-themes were common to both rural and urban participants: reduction of parental burden to schedule, reduction in parental lost time, decrease in parental stress and increase in physical access points for influenza immunization. The fifth subtheme, increases temporal access to influenza immunization, emerged uniquely from the rural data. Conclusions Both rural and urban parents perceived that convenience would be an advantage of adding an annual influenza immunization to the vaccinations currently given to Alberta children at school. Improving temporal access to such immunization may be a more relevant aspect of convenience to rural than to urban parents.
