Sense of Family ws ws




In rendering a pictorial representation of my family, I would include my parents, siblings, a
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




sister from another mother, my husband, and my son, who collectively make up my dependable
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




ws support system, reciprocally relying on one another. My conceptualization of family aligns with the
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




ws notion that families, as asserted by Yulfa and Herawati (2017), are defined by their members' claims
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




ws and constitute groups reliant on one another for financial, emotional, and physical support. The
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws w s ws




ws criterion that individuals must have a longstanding presence in my life and contribute to our mutual
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




ws support system to be considered part of my family is essential to my understanding.

Religious and cultural influences have significantly shaped my view of what defines family. ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




ws Rooted in a close-knit church community during my upbringing, where support was extended among
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




ws members regardless of blood relations, my understanding of family transcends biological ties. This
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




ws cultural backdrop, combined with my traditional family structure of father, mother, and children,
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




wherein my childhood was mainly spent with cousins, aunties, uncles, and grandparents, contributed
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




ws significantly to my nuanced perspective. However, our nanny looked after us while our parents cared
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




ws for our business. My background and all of these early experiences shaped my family's view.

Family Nursing Theories ws ws




The required nursing textbook discussed many nursing theories, among which Orem's
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




ws Self-Care Deficit Theory and Nightingale's environmental theory particularly struck me. I was
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




ws raised in a household with a profound connection to cultural heritage, and it is of utmost
ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws




ws significance to acquire and adhere to this cultural framework. ws ws ws ws ws ws ws ws
