A lifespan approach is used as the framework in which the stages of family life form the basis for an exploration of key social and health issues and the practice of family-centred nursing care. Psychosocial factors and the family's response to life stressors in both health and illness are discussed using a cross-disciplinary approach. Particular emphasis is given to maternal and infant care and the child-bearing family, issues to do with caring for a person with a developmental disability within the family, and the effect on families of the chronic illness of a family member. A health promotion perspective is used throughout.
