Despite long-standing interest in the family as the focal point of nursing care, there are few published reports of clinical interventions with families after they institutionalize an elderly relative. Family members experience loss, guilt, and grief, and report that these emotions continue throughout the time that their older member is in the nursing home. This paper presents the rationale for using a supportive, educational group approach with families of nursing home residents and describes a family group intervention, detailing the role of the geriatric mental health nurse specialist, group goals, and the focus of each session. Evaluations by families and staff are presented, and recommendations for practice are made.
尽管长期以来人们一直关注家庭作为护理工作的重点，但关于老年人亲属入住养老院后对其家庭进行临床干预的公开报告却很少。家庭成员会经历失落、内疚和悲伤，并表示这些情绪在其老年亲属住在养老院期间一直持续。本文阐述了对养老院居民家庭采用支持性教育小组方法的基本原理，并描述了一个家庭小组干预措施，详细说明了老年心理健康护士专家的角色、小组目标以及每次会议的重点。文中还介绍了家庭和工作人员的评估情况，并提出了实践建议。
