| Research Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to develop an assessment instrument and guidelines for nursing intervention with a systematic approach for families with chronically ill children at home. The conceptual framework underlying this study was The Long-Term Family Care Model, an adaptation of Hymovich's Contingency Model of Long-Term Care.
The components were system, time , six mediate variables( family stress, beliefs, family coping, family Strength a nd resources, family needs) and one outcome variable (level offamily functioning). First, and based on this model, an assessment questionnaire comprising five scales consisting 108 items was developed. Second, the reliability and validity of these scales was assessed by testing them on 85 families(ll5 family members ) with chronically ill children at home. The guidelines for nursing intervention , on the other hand, were the result of family assessment. The results of this study indicate that the assessment questionnaire was sufficiently reliable and valid, which suggests that the guidelines for nursing intervention may be suitable for use in a clinical setting.
