Do a discussion on Family Health

Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and family care.Family Health Assessment Paper Part 1
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 850- 900-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.
Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete this assignment.
Sources should be published within the last 5 years and appropriate for the assignment
criteria.
