    Area of Science:

    • Nursing Education
    • Family Nursing

    Background:

    • Family nursing is a key component of holistic patient care.
    • Understanding how family nursing is taught is crucial for effective nursing education.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To explore Finnish nursing teachers' definitions of family.
    • To identify theoretical underpinnings and teaching methods used in family nursing education.
    • To assess teachers' information needs and knowledge utilization in family nursing.

    Main Methods:

    • Survey data collected from 134 teachers across 42 nursing colleges in Finland.
    • Descriptive frequencies, percentage distributions, and cross-tabulations were used for analysis.

    Main Results:

    • Teachers adopted a broad definition of family, extending beyond the nuclear family model.
    • While family-orientation was recognized, 'family nursing' as a concept was not widely familiar.
    • A significant portion of teachers reported infrequent instruction in family interviewing skills and expressed a need for enhanced theoretical competence.
    • Textbooks were the primary teaching resource, with limited use of research data.

    Conclusions:

    • Nursing education in Finland broadly defines family but needs to strengthen the conceptual understanding and practical application of family nursing.
    • There is a clear need for improved teacher training and resources to enhance family nursing education and equip students with essential skills.
