Nurses and Family Health

By Shirley Hanson
Posted by Nancy Gonzalez | May 02, 2012

Nurses have always been involved with in health care and health education of families in agencies and throughout the community in American history. It was not until more recent times starting in the early 1980s, that the nursing profession began to identify a specialty called Family Nursing or Family Health Care Nursing.

We have many things to be excited as members of the NCFR Family and Health Section. First, we were well represented throughout the 2011 conference in Orlando. We sponsored excellent special sessions and enjoyed individual presentations from across our membership. Another very exciting part of the 2011 conference focused on our own section's launch of the 2012 Walk to Phoenix project and the culminating 5K Walk/Run Event to be held as part of the 2012 conference. It is always exciting to think about the annual conference, but 2012 is of particular significance for our section because the conference theme is Families and Health!

Intergenerational relationships: New questions call for new data

by Judith A. Seltzer, Professor, Department of Sociology and California Center for Population Research, UCLA. seltzerj@ucla.edu

I believe that we need new U.S. data to answer the following questions: When do parents and adult children help each other? Why do they help? How do they help? And what difference do intergenerational ties make for individual family members?

Reflections on intergenerational relations

by Ingrid Arnet Connidis, Ph.D., the University of Western Ontario

Occasionally a concept comes along that resonates with the research community. A recent example is the idea of ambivalence. Despite some reservations, an impressive array of studies has used ambivalence in creative and thoughtful ways to enhance our understanding of intergenerational relations.

Who gets custody of Grandma after the divorce?

by Marilyn Coleman, Ph.D. and Lawrence Ganong, Ph.D., University of Missouri

Most Americans agree that "adult children should take care of their parents when they get old." But suppose that your parents divorced when you were 10 years old and your mother moved far away. Would that affect how you would feel about helping her? Would that make a difference to you?

Disaster preparedness and the petrified pantry

This morning I write with a heavy heart. Hurricane Irene is swirling in the Atlantic. The projected paths as of 8 am on Friday August 26 predict it will hit most of the eastern seaboard beginning tomorrow. Officials are advising evacuation in some areas and voluntary evacuation in others.
