Important aspects of support make it necessary to spend more time with parents and families: more time listening, more time sharing information, more time advising on choices and options that are available, and more time to facilitate contact with other agencies, both voluntary and state funded, rather than rely on direct intervention from nursing services alone.
Joan Livesley and Tony Long, University of Salford
Social, political, cultural, gender, age, human development and generations all influence and shape families and community health. Grouped into three sections, over 20 peer reviewed articles address social and cultural issues, understanding parenting and supporting families in the provision of family and community health care. In a changing social and cultural environment expanded roles and responsibilities of care providers at the family and community level are examined.
Complementing Contemporary Nurse's special issue on Child and Family Health Care (ISBN 0-9750436-3-3) by Philip Darbyshire and Debra Jackson, this special issue explores nurse leadership and advocacy in community health practice, such as methodology, community development, Indigenous families, child protection, child birth, abuse and disorders.
In one reader, Advances in Contemporary Community & Family Health Care provides opinion pieces, reviews and research perspectives on a wide range of issues encountered by health professionals in delivering competent primary care.
