Psychiatric nursing phenomena and the construct of family boundaries

Abstract:
Nursing theorists and practitioners are working to define the roles and functions of nurses more precisely in order to provide a clearer understanding of the nursing contribution to the multidisciplinary team. One method of achieving this goal is to identify and classify phenomena of interest using a nursing perspective. In this article, the multidisciplinary construct of family boundaries is explored as a phenomena of interest to psychiatric nurses. Kim's (1987) theoretical frame-work and a classification system derived by Coler and Vincent (1987) are applied to the construct and illustrated through use of a case study. Interventions relevant to type of family system boundaries are described.
