This document discusses HIV/AIDS family interventions and their implications for family-focused nursing practice. It defines key concepts like "family" and describes how HIV/AIDS impacts families. Family interventions are conceptualized as acts that facilitate healthy changes in the family and can include education, psychosocial and behavioral support. Effective HIV/AIDS family interventions should consider the disease trajectory and be culturally specific. Training family nurses in intervention design and advocating for family-centered policies can improve outcomes. More research is still needed on families, interventions and the cost-effectiveness of family-focused approaches.
