Introduction to the Instructor‘s Guide

This instructor‘s guide is designed to provide strategies for teaching family nursing to
undergraduate and graduate nursing students, and to already practicing professional nurses who
are learning to be more family focused in their nursing care. The editors of this textbook and
instructor‘s guide believe that the best nurses are those who expand their scientific knowledge
through creative and reflective thought, behavior, and experiences using evidence-based
practices. The authors of the Family Health Care Nursing: Theory, Practice and Research, fifth
edition, Instructor’s Guide utilize the University of British Columbia (UBC) model of teaching
(Thorne, Chillings, Ellis, & Perry, 1992), which incorporates activities for understanding,
reflection, behavioral experiences, and growth throughout this manual. This UBC model,
originally designed for nursing care of individuals, has been adapted for the instructor‘s guide to
be applied to families, recognizing the uniqueness of each individual family and the nursing role
in providing care during critical periods in the family life cycle. Family nurses‘ many roles assist
families in strengthening their abilities, enhancing protective strategies, sustaining strengths, and
developing positive coping strategies through therapeutic communication and holistic care. By
helping nursing faculty teach and guide undergraduate and graduate nursing students, as well as
practicing professional nurses, to explore individual and family meanings attached to health
events, the fifth edition textbook and instructor‘s guide can help shape ideas, develop trust, and
nurture therapeutic relationships between the health care system and families.

N5e NInstructor's NGuide
Five primary theoretical approaches are introduced and used throughout Family Health
Care Nursing: Theory, Practice and Research, fifth edition: family systems theory, family life
cycle theory, family health and illness cycle model, bioecological theory, and family assessment
and intervention model. These five theoretical approaches are applied to several case studies
within the text, to help nursing faculty demonstrate clinical applicability of critical concepts.
The instructor‘s guide is written to be adaptable into a wide range of curricular
frameworks, which include family nursing, such as stand-alone family nursing courses, and
family nursing concepts and theory as integrated within other nursing courses. In the textbook
foreword, you will note that the fifth edition of this text can be used to teach several levels of
nursing students (undergraduate or graduate), as well as practicing or graduate nurses.
Each chapter in the instructor‘s guide is similarly organized according to the following
components:
Introductory paragraph summarizing the contents of the chapter
Critical Concepts
Review of Key Terms
Quiz and Exam Questions (most chapters)
Reflection Questions
Student Learning Activities
Case Study (or multiple case studies) and Discussion Questions (most chapters)
Additionally, there are a number of appendices for the instructor‘s convenience:
Appendix A in the textbook contains the complete Family Stressor-Strength
Inventory (FS3I) tool and directions for administration and scoring.
