IMPLEMENTING FAMILY NURSING THEORY IN HEALTH CARE SETTINGS: A GLOBAL RESEARCH PRIORITY
|
|
IFNA members are leading family nursing implementation projects in health care practice environments around the world:
In 2012, Dr. Fabie Duhamel (Canada) received funding from the Canadian Institutes of Health to organize the first International Research Collaboration in Family Systems Nursing Knowledge Translation. Research questions guiding family nursing implementation efforts include: How is family nursing theory implemented by nurses and multidisciplinary health care providers? What are the effects of implementing family nursing practice on families, on nurses and other health care providers, and on the health care system? What are the facilitating and constraining factors that influence implementation of family nursing in practice settings? What larger systems change needs to occur to insure family nursing becomes "usual practice" in health care environments? Research methods used to date include both qualitative and quantitative approaches.
