dc.description.abstractBackground Family is a vital unit of care and support, formed by interdependent individuals linked through biology, emotions, or social bonds. Its dynamics both shape and are shaped by members’ health, making it integral to nursing care. Nursing education should promote a positive attitude among nurses regarding the involvement of families in care. Knowing how family issues are valued in undergraduate nursing programmes is fundamental to consider family as a unit of care. Objectives The aim is to identify and describe the integration of family nursing knowledge within undergraduate nursing education nationally. Design Cross-sectional study. Participants Eighteen undergraduate nursing programs. Methods Phase I – National survey of undergraduate nursing programs (May–June 2020). Phase II – Content analysis of courses with a family approach (June 2020–January 2021). Results The nursing programs revealed 256 courses that fulfilled the inclusion criteria, ranging from four to thirty-five courses per program. Seven categories were identified. Four of these were defined a priori, based on theoretical foundations: Theoretical Approach of Family, Individual and Family Health Experience, Skills for Family Care, and Approaches to Family Nursing. The remaining three categories emerged a posteriori from data analysis: Education Context, Nursing Process of Family, and Ethical and Deontological Issues. Conclusion Family is taught in undergraduate nursing programs, mainly in clinical settings. The most frequent family approach depicted in the curriculum was family as context. The findings also point to a focus on different approaches to family nursing, including ‘family as a client’, ‘family as a system’, and ‘family as a component of society’, underlining the multidimensional nature of family nursing. Nursing education should emphasise the importance of exploring new strategies to teach family care, moving forward from a perspective of the family as a context to a perspective of the family as a client of care.eng
