Introduction to the Instructor’s Guide

Author: Deborah Padgett Coehlo, PhD, RN

Contributors: Diane Bauer, MS, RN; Kari Firestone, RN, MSN; Kathleen Bell, RN, MSN, CNM,

AHN-BC; Jane Palmieri, MSN, RN

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.

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.
