Description

<p>The purpose of this study is to clarify about family nursing practice and nurse's recognition of practice for transfer of the terminal cancer patients from a general ward to a home care setting. As a result, the contents of family nursing practice included “Communication with family and reporting about the home care settings,” and “Listening to patients' family about transfer to a home care setting, adjustment to the conflicting family member.” The contents of nurses' recognition about family support included “Cooperating with the member of various job types with family members for transfer to a home care setting,” and “Respecting the individuality of the family and regarding a family as a unit.”</p><p>As family support for transfer to a home care setting, the nurses recognized the patient's hopes, but did not nominate action to this as part of family nursing practice. Transferring terminal patients into home care revealed to have extra difficulties since we were not only dealing with the patients' wishes but that of the family members and nurses. Nurses did recognize that when one of the family members suffer from a cancer and is transferred to a home care setting has affects on the whole family, but they lacked the viewpoint in nursing care regarding the relationship among family members.</p>
