Abstract
FRADE, João Manuel da Graça; HENRIQUES, Carolina Miguel Graça and FRADE, Maria de Fátima Graça. Integrating the family into nursing care: nurses’ and nursing students’ perspectives. Rev. Enf. Ref. [online]. 2021, vol.serV, n.7, e20158. Epub Nov 18, 2021. ISSN 0874-0283. https://doi.org/10.12707/rv20158.
Background:
Integrating families into nursing care allows promoting, maintaining, and restoring their health.
Objectives:
To identify and describe nurses’ and nursing students’ perspectives of the integration of families into nursing care.
Methodology:
Inferential, cross-sectional study in a population of nurses and nursing students. The Families’ Importance in Nursing Care - Nurses’ Attitudes (FINC-NA) scale was applied.
Results:
Sample consisting of 164 individuals, of whom 71 were nurses and 93 nursing students. On average, the importance attached to the family was higher among nursing students than among nurses, with a significant difference between both groups. In the univariate linear regression analysis, the variables Age, Years of professional experience, and Training in the family nursing seem to be associated with the importance attached to the family.
Conclusion:
Students attach more importance to family integration than nurses. The variables Age, Years of professional experience, and Training in the family nursing are associated with greater importance attached by nurses to the integration of families into nursing care.
