Research on the family's response to illness has not been characterized by deliberate attention to quality of family life issues. Most work in the field has been directed toward conceptualizing and measuring coping behaviors and impact. Conclusions regarding quality of family life must be inferred from measures not explicitly designed to measure this concept. The quality of family life is as elusive a concept as is quality of life for the individual. Theoretical and methodological approaches must be developed and tested. Oncology nurses have the potential to influence the quality of family life within the cancer experience.
关于家庭对疾病反应的研究，其特点并非刻意关注家庭生活质量问题。该领域的大多数工作都致力于应对行为及其影响的概念化和测量。关于家庭生活质量的结论必须从并非明确设计用于衡量这一概念的指标中推断得出。家庭生活质量与个体生活质量一样，是一个难以捉摸的概念。必须开发并检验理论和方法。肿瘤护理人员有潜力在癌症经历中影响家庭生活质量。
