Family structure interview and assessment

Understanding family structure and style is essential to patient and
  family care. Conducting a family interview and needs assessment
  gathers information to identify strengths, as well as potential
  barriers to health. This information ultimately helps develop
  family-centered strategies for support and guidance.

This family health assessment is a two-part assignment. The
  information you gather in this initial assignment will be utilized for
  the second assignment in Topic 3.

Develop an interview questionnaire to be used in a family-focused
  functional assessment. The questionnaire must include three
  open-ended, family-focused questions to assess functional health
  patterns for each of the following:

1. Values/Health Perception
2. Nutrition
3. Sleep/Rest
4. Elimination
5. Activity/Exercise
6. Cognitive
7. Sensory-Perception
8. Self-Perception
9. Role Relationship
10. Sexuality
11. Coping

Select a family, other than your own, and seek permission from the
  family to conduct an interview. Utilize the interview questions
  complied in your interview questionnaire to conduct a family-focused
  functional assessment. Document the responses as you conduct the
interview.

Upon completion of the interview, write a 750-1,000-word paper.
  Analyze your assessment findings. Submit your questionnaire as an
  appendix with your assignment.

Include the following in your paper:

1. Describe the family structure. Include individuals and any
       relevant attributes defining the family composition, race/ethnicity,
       social class, spirituality, and environment.
2. Summarize the     overall health behaviors of the family. Describe the current health     of the family.
3. Based on your findings, describe at least     two of the
   functional health pattern strengths noted in the     findings. Discuss
   three areas in which health problems or barriers     to health were
   identified.
4. Describe how family systems     theory can be applied to solicit
   changes in family members that, in     turn, initiate positive changes
   to the overall family functions over   time.

Cite at least three peer-reviewed or scholarly sources to complete
  this assignment. Sources should be published within the last 5 years
  and appropriate for the assignment criteria.
