The author has extensive experience interacting with families in clinical settings, clinical competency, multidisciplinary collaboration experience, and experience exploring the development of the nursing role. I used four research steps to integrate several decades of research experience and findings in order to propose a theoretical framework and practical therapeutic competency. I hope this introduction offers insights to hardworking nurses and helps them address the many possible family situations that could arise in clinical settings.
