structural theory and the family developmental theory

1. Mrs. Jones, a widow, is no longer able to live
independently and is requiring more and more help with her self-care. Her
daughter, Susie, who is married with three school-aged children, agrees to let
her mother move in with her. Susie is concerned with balancing the demands of
her career and the needs of her family, especially now that her elderly and
chronically ill mother will need assistance. She is also unsure about how she
feels with the reversal of roles, having to now be the primary caregiver of her
mother. How can the nurse, caring for this family, assist with the changes they
are about to undergo? How can both the family structural theory and the family
developmental theory be applied to this scenario? How can health education
enhance health promotion for this family?
