Abstract

The main concern or tenet of nursing is to accomplish the given work with the families. An individual and society are linked or connected by the family as it is a fundamental unit of the community, which state its importance for the existence of society (Bronfenbrenner, 1979). Fulfilling the needs or demands of the family members and society is the key aim of the family. Hence, an idea or concept in terms of the way human beings linked or associated to each other is known as family (St John &Keleher, 2007, p. 254). According to Friedman, Bowden and Jones (2003), for delivering effectual health services to the people, family plays or acts as a resource, though in some situations, family is seen or viewed as a stressor. Apart from this, health of the individuals is influenced by the family and on the other side; the family is influenced by the health status of the individuals.
