This article describes the subjective health views of young Finnish families with children. The data were collected in unstructured focused interviews with 19 families, most of whom were interviewed twice. Set within a phenomenological-hermeneutic framework, the study applies a qualitative method in order to uncover the meanings attached by the families to different facets of their everyday life. Health is an integral part of the everyday life of families with children, comprising various dimensions of experienced well-being and unwell-being, security and different life-habits. Social networks are crucial to family health: they can either strengthen or undermine experienced health. Professionals working with families in the health care system need to have at least a basic knowledge of the different dimensions of family health: this helps to identify and understand the individual ways in which families work to promote their health and well-being. This knowledge of family health is also important for research purposes. Health care professionals also need to know more about how families cope with their everyday problems and about how client families can be supported. More research is needed on the concepts of family health and on how those concepts are applied to practice in different health care sectors and in education.
本文描述了有孩子的芬兰年轻家庭的主观健康观念。数据收集于对19个家庭进行的非结构化重点访谈，其中大多数家庭接受了两次访谈。该研究置于现象学-诠释学框架内，采用定性方法以揭示家庭赋予其日常生活不同方面的意义。健康是有孩子家庭日常生活的一个组成部分，包括体验到的幸福与不幸福、安全感以及不同生活习惯等多个维度。社会网络对家庭健康至关重要：它们既能增强也能削弱体验到的健康。在医疗保健系统中与家庭打交道的专业人员至少需要对家庭健康的不同维度有基本的了解：这有助于识别和理解家庭促进自身健康和幸福的独特方式。这种家庭健康知识对于研究目的也很重要。医疗保健专业人员还需要更多地了解家庭如何应对日常问题以及如何支持客户家庭。关于家庭健康概念以及这些概念如何在不同医疗保健部门和教育领域应用于实践，还需要更多研究。
