1Associate professor, College of Nursing and Health, Wright State University, Dayton, OH, USA.
Abstract:
Understanding the social contexts of health and healthcare delivery from a multilevel thinking perspective offers nurses an opportunity to prioritize research and interventions that address communicable and noncommunicable diseases across the care continuum. The content of this paper explains the development of a multilevel theory of family health for Sub-Saharan families affected by the burden of breast cancer guided by Neuman's Systems Model. Implications for knowledge development in family nursing practice and research in the region are discussed.
