FAMILY DATA ANALYSIS

Family data analysis involves the systematic examination of information related to


individuals and families within a community. This process helps nurses assess health
needs, plan interventions, and provide personalized care to promote the well-being of
families and the larger community. It's a crucial aspect of community health nursing,
allowing healthcare professionals to tailor their services and support to address specific
health challenges and improve overall community health outcomes.

Data Analysis

 Utilization of Data from the Assessment Data Base in Family Nursing Practice

The objective of this analysis is to:

 Sort out and classifies or groups data by type or nature (e.g. which are
wellness states, threats, deficits, or stress points/foreseeable crises).
 Relates data with each other and determines patterns or reoccurring themes
among the data.
 Compare data and the patterns or recurring themes with norms or standards

The standards or norms utilized in determining the status of the family as a client or
patient can be classified into three types:

1. Normal health of individual members


- involves the physical, social and emotional well-being of each family member
2. Home and environmental conditions conducive to health development
- include both the physical as well as the psychological and socio-cultural milieu.
- Such a milieu considers the type and quality of housing, adequacy of living
space, adequacy of sanitation facilities and resources both in the home and the
community, the kind of neighborhood, psychological or socio-cultural norms,
values, expectations or modes of life which enhance health development and
prevent or control risk factors and hazards
3. Family characteristics, dynamics or level of functioning conducive to
family growth and development
- constitutes the client's ability as a system to maintain its boundary integrity and
achieve its purposes through a dynamic interchange among its members while
responding to the external multi-environments along a time continuum.

Characteristics of healthy family functioning are described as:

flexible role patterns, responsiveness to needs of individual members, dynamic


problem-solving mechanisms, ability to accept help, open communication patterns,
experience of trust and respect in a warm and caring atmosphere and capacity to
maintain and create constructive relationships with the broader neighborhood and
community (Clemen-Stone and others 1991)

Health Tasks

 to achieve awareness among its members and reduce or eliminate health


problems, the standard or norm of the family as a functioning unit involves
the ability to perform the following health tasks:
1. Recognize the presence of a wellness state or health condition or problem
2. Make decisions about taking appropriate health action to maintain wellness or
manage the health problem
3. Provide nursing care to the sick, disabled, dependent or at-risk members;
4. Maintain a home environment conducive to health maintenance and personal
development; and,
5. Utilize community resources for health care.

Data Analysis and Interpretation

After sorting out, relating and identifying patterns, and comparing the data to norms and
standard, inferences are drawn. The end result of this analysis during the first-level
assessment is a conclusion or a statement of a health condition or problem, classified
as a wellness potential, health threat, health deficit or stress point/foreseeable crisis.

These classifications include:

 Transition state from a specific level of wellness to a higher level


 Medical or nursing diagnosis indicating current health status of each family
member
 Condition of home and environment conducive to disease/illness or accidents;
and
 Maturation/developmental or situational crisis situation.

The second-level of analysis ends with a definition of family nursing problems. To define
family nursing problems, each wellness state or health condition or problem must be
analyzed in terms of how the family handles it.

NURSING DIAGNOSES: FAMILY NURSING PROBLEMS

 when a wellness state or health condition/problem becomes a family nursing


problem when it is stated as the family's failure to perform adequately specific
health tasks to enhance or sustain the wellness state or manage the health
problem
 specifically defined as a clinical judgment about the family's response to actual or
potential health problems or life processes (NANDA 2001)
 The end result of the second-level assessment is a set of family nursing
problems for each health condition or problem.
 Wellness condition - nursing judgment related with the client's capability for
wellness
 Health condition or problem - a situation which interferes with the promotion
and/or maintenance of health and recovery from illness or injury
