6cp; intensivePostgraduate
This subject aims to increase students' understanding of the family as a construct within society and provide students with the resources for interpretation and assessment of family processes. This subject explores the place of the family in Australian society through a nursing perspective emphasising practice implications. An increased understanding of family function, assessment and stressors, especially related to transitional periods such as childbirth and early parenting, facilitate appropriate nursing interventions and strengthen students' awareness that holistic practice is inclusive of the family. This subject enhances the students' ability to practically support families during difficult situations and heighten the students' recognition of the role of the family in their clinical setting.
