Levels of family functioning are an important consideration in determining appropriate clinical and educational intervention approaches for families and older adults. Theoretical and applied approaches are reviewed with the emphasis on specific interventions that support different levels of family functioning and caregiving. Additionally, different dynamics within the family and their relations with aging family members are examined. This paper updates and expands discussions on levels of family functioning considerations by Sterns et al. using Blocher's theory of level of human effectiveness. Further levels of family functioning include the theories developed by Bowen's family systems theory. A present-day consideration is important for counseling, case management, caregiving, and treatment planning to assist families and their aging family member.
家庭功能水平是确定针对家庭和老年人的适当临床及教育干预方法时的一个重要考量因素。本文回顾了理论和应用方法，重点关注支持不同家庭功能水平和照护的具体干预措施。此外，还研究了家庭内部的不同动态及其与老年家庭成员的关系。本文运用布洛赫的人类效能水平理论，更新并扩展了斯特恩斯等人关于家庭功能水平考量的讨论。家庭功能的进一步层次包括鲍文家庭系统理论所提出的理论。当今的这一考量对于咨询、个案管理、照护及治疗规划以帮助家庭及其老年家庭成员而言至关重要。
