Abstract

Family involvement during hospitalizations of older adults with chronic illnesses may benefit both patients and family. However, there is a limited amount of research focused on families of older adults managing chronic illness. This study describes family member perceptions of the relationship between family and nurses when an older adult with diabetes is hospitalized in a Magnet institution. The Calgary Family Intervention Model guided the study. A family member of 60 older adult patients completed the Family Function, Family Health, and Social Support Instrument. The results revealed positive perceptions from family members regarding their perceptions of family nursing practice. Family health, however, was found to decrease slightly as loved ones are hospitalized more frequently, and is an area where nurses may provide improved social support. Future research might target the implementation of a targeted family-level intervention designed to improve family outcomes as well as family nursing practice.
