Figueiredo, Maria; Ferreira, Manuela; Guedes, Virgínia; Oliveira, Palmira; Amaral, Mireille; Ferré Grau, CarmeThe Dynamic Model of Family Assessment and Intervention (MDAIF) aims to constitute itself as a reference that promotes clinical decision processes based on systemic proposition. This study aimed to evaluate the changes in nurses’ perceptions about the assumptions of family intervention after the training process centered on this referential. This is an exploratory and quantitative study with a sample of 553 family nurses who participated in the “MDAIF” training, organized by the Northern Regional Health Administration, until 2017. A 10 item Likert scale was used with responses between 1 “totally incompetent and 7” “fully competent”, based on MDAIF and applied in the pre and post training periods. T-test was performed for paired samples using SPSS version 23.0. There were very significant statistical changes regarding the perception of competence in all items evaluated, and participants after training perceived with higher competence on the assumptions of family intervention. The results confirm the importance of formative processes based on family health nursing theoretical references. May contribute to the development of family-centered practices as a client, as well as to investigate the health returns resulted from them.
- Implications of the COVID-19 Pandemic on the Family Structural Dimensions: A Correlational StudyPublication . Silva, Margarida; Ferreira, Manuela; Loureiro, Helena; Kraus, Teresa; Santos, Angelica; Figueiredo, MariaThe COVID-19 pandemic caused changes in the families’ social support network, employment status, and family income, which are the focus of attention of family health nurses. This study aims to describe the pandemic’s repercussions in the areas of attention of the structural dimension of families according to the Dynamic Model of Family Assessment and Intervention, as perceived by Portuguese families, and to relate the changes in their employment status according to the variables of the structural dimension. A quantitative, descriptive, and correlational study was conducted using snowball sampling. A questionnaire of sociodemographic characterization and assessment of the family structural dimension according to the model’s operational matrix was applied to 235 family members. Changes were found in their employment status; family income; intensity and frequency of contact with family, friends, and coworkers; frequency of contact with educational/health/religious institutions and community groups; cultural activities; and housing comfort conditions such as the use of heating/air conditioning, gas, and water consumption. Changes in employment status were related to family income, interaction with friends, frequency of cultural activities, and use of air conditioning and heating. Knowing the implications of the pandemic on the family’s structural dimension results in a nursing intervention more focused on family needs.
