Abstract
Over recent years the family’s role in the efficient and effective recovery of patients has been
studied across various levels in the world. These studies on family healthcare nursing have
definitively cut across and tried to recognize the involvement of families in recovery to patients
on different levels and thereby understand the family systems and hierarchy and their effects on
how a patient presents his symptoms. Despite the vital role played by nurses both at home and in
the hospitals, it is evident that the patient’s family holds the greater power in influencing the
patient’s recovery. This paper also seeks to explain how the families, together with the nurses,
may be educated on how they can come together and adequately nurse the patients. It also aims
to inform the family on ways to deal with trauma and depression brought about by illnesses
hitting the family.
