Discussion - Assessing Family Values
Post your responses by 2359 Wednesday of
Post your replies to peers by 2359 Saturday
Topic
On page 370 of your textbook, Friedman et al. propose that
nurses assess a family’s values by
contrasting and comparing the values of a family to those of the

9. dominant American culture (see
American Core Values, page 355), by looking at value
congruency within the family, and by
analyzing how the family’s values affect the health status of the
family.
A. In your work as a nurse or student nurse, describe one
example of how you have used
this approach or have seen another healthcare provider use this
approach to assess the
values of a patient or family related to healthcare practices.
B. In your professional opinion, as a current or future
healthcare provider, is this an
appropriate way to approach the assessment of family values? Is
this an effective way to
assess family values related to healthcare practices? Can you
suggest an alternative
approach?

Discussion - Family Values
Post your responses by 2359 Wednesday
Post your replies to peers by 2359 Saturday
Topic

20. One of the terms we often see in the media is “family values.”
In Chapter 13, page 353 of the
textbook, Friedman et al. define family values as “a system of
ideas, attitudes, and beliefs about
the worth of an entity or concept that consciously and
unconsciously bind together the members
of a family in a common culture (Parad & Caplan, 1965).”
Clearly, the true meaning of “family values” is complex.
However, one thing is clear: family
values serve as general guides to behavior and they shape the
family’s patterns of behavior
related to health care. Beginning on page 355, there is a detailed
discussion of American Core
Values. One of these values (see page 363) relates to quality of
life and maintaining health.
Friedman et al. indicate that maintaining health is becoming a
major value within the American
culture along with people actively participating in their
healthcare decisions rather than passively
receiving healthcare intervention.
a) From your professional and/or personal experiences, give one
example of a person or

21. family whose health-related behaviors appeared to have been
driven by this American
Core Value, and identify the social class, culture/ethnicity, and
age range of the primary
person(s) involved.
b) From your professional and /or personal experiences, give
one example of a person or
family whose health-related behaviors appeared to have been
driven by an alternative
value in which healthcare intervention was passively received.
Identify the social class,
culture/ethnicity, and age range of the primary person(s)
involved.
