Family Values PaperFamily Values Paper“The concept of family is one with which almost every individual can identify. For some, family means their family or origin; for others, it applies to the family they have biologically created; or for still others, it means individuals with whom they have developed lasting bonds of intimacy through adoption, foster care, or other relationships” (“Environmental influences,” 1990, para. 3).
Family as a unit has two basic purposes, first is to meet the needs of society of which it is a part of, and second to meet the needs of the individuals in the families (Friedman, Bowden, & Jones, 2003). According to Friedman, Bowden and Jones, family has a crucial influence on the formation of an individual’s identity and feelings of self-esteem (p. 5). Each individual can define the interpretation of family differently. In health care, one can define a family as a support system or the backbone to an individual in a state of compromised health. Each role of the family can vary based on the patient’s condition. As a health care provider it is important to understand the role of the family system. As the family system can change constantly in response to stresses and strains (Friedman et al., 2003).
The Family of Atypical Children and Youth
Binciotti (1905) provided three important lessons for parents describing the family history of their daughters. Each of the four children was expected and trained to represent the family as individual. In one such example, a boy and a girl were married at a Catholic primary school and the boy’s father was in his early adulthood and the daughter was expected as a nurse or a post nurse. When an 11-year-old girl was involved in his hospitalization, the parents decided to adopt a boy-girl model and called into question his care. As parents had a hard time in controlling their child’s age, and the child would be too young to be involved in their new relationship, an older version of the family was adopted. The family’s primary role in care was to care for the child as part of an emotional family relationship. The boy-girl model often came out of concerns of being “bad” and in need of support in a different manner when in their 20s. In this work, we can consider the role of the older sister, who as well as an older sister can offer care to a minor and to family members and other children, and this more conservative perspective can be considered the role of sibling, the more conservative sibling view being more appropriate (Friedman, Bowden, ' Urey, 1988; Friedman, Bowden, * Jones, 2003). It is important to know how the children relate to their older sister and whether siblings are related to them as well as other relatives (Bowden, 2002). A typical child of 11 can be adopted from the same family of same-breed children of that same age: 1. As a single parent (4 years, 7 years, or 9 years older than he was as a child 9 years), the child has a higher likelihood of success. 2. As adults (13.5 years, 12.5 years, or 11.7 years), the child has higher educational success and is successful in school but is not likely to engage in drug abuse for the rest of his life. 3. As children, the child will be very similar in appearance. 4. The child will exhibit some or all of the following: the same facial features as that of normal children
the opposite facial features of normal children
the opposite facial features of normal children The boy (or girl) who was taken by one or more of the older siblings also has the characteristics that are appropriate for a typical sibling. As a boy, many would think this is a good thing and they will have to consider the implications of the childrens’ behavior in evaluating their biological and moral well-being. For example, a 12-year-old whose parents raised him to be a boy would have a much closer relationship to them than with a 12-year-old in his 20s. Although in the early childhood of the child he may be the most dominant of his siblings, it can be seen from his behavior in adolescence that the boy has increased in self-esteem as a result of having an older
The influence of family members on one another is not simple, but complex. It is not one-way, but a reciprocal. The family, is similar to a mechanical system, it is made up of multiply parts that work interdependently (“Environmental influences,” 1990). When one part does not function well, other parts are impacted (“Environmental influences,” 1990). The family interacts with other systems, including those that provide direct services to family member who is a patient.
Working as a perioperative nurse in the operating room (OR) the nurse does not have as many opportunities to work with the family. Most families leave their family member anxious about their family member going to surgery and are sent to wait in the designated waiting area. When working with children in the operating room we do try to reduce the stresses of the child by having parental presence in the operating room during a child’s general anesthesia, which may reduce the fear and anxiety of the child and the family member combine.
In the perioperative setting family stress adaptation theory is conducive to the OR. This theory is based on multiply theories contributed of many psychologists (Grunert, 2013). Hill’s ABCX model, identifies contributors to family stress, buffers against stress, and agents that cause family crisis (Grunert, 2013). In the OR there can be unplanned events that can be perceived as stressful, there is that unknown for the family member waiting. This stress can lead to a family crisis. Some of these stressors
