Family Distress

Although this volume is replete with detailed discussions about specific pain problems, the focus of this chapter is on a discussion of the commonalities in aetiology, associated symptoms, and treatment of many of the frequent chronic pain problems. We will explore in brief the data that demonstrates the co-occurrence of many of the common chronic pain problems in children and the epidemiological similarities that exist between affected individuals. Then we will review the concept of central sensitization and the physiological evidence that supports its presence in many of the functional pain problems. We will briefly review some of the symptoms associated with these entities (orthostatic intolerance, sleep disturbance, depression, anxiety, hypermobility, family distress). Finally, we will discuss briefly a general approach to these problems emphasizing the collection of specific information in the history and physical examination, the critically important presentation of the formulation to the family, and the treatment modalities that appear to be effective for many of these conditions. In-depth discussion of each of these pain problems is available in chapters specifically designated to review them in detail.

The needs of family members with a critically ill relative present a significant challenge to nursing professionals in the intensive care unit. Initially, interventions aimed at providing focused information and relieving anxiety take precedence. As the crisis period passes, however, the family may need to reestablish familiar patterns of functioning. Thus, family assessment and intervention is vital throughout the course of the patient’s hospitalization. This article examines how a medical-respiratory intensive care unit has applied family need research in designing and implementing an ongoing family-based plan of care

Family Distress

Social workers and teachers in schools deal with families in distress. When a child is having trouble in school, families will respond in their preferred style of dealing with problems. The challenge for social workers and teachers is to understand the meaning behind how the family copes with the distress. Professionals typically have been taught traditional models of family dynamics that identify or label coping styles as either functional or dysfunctional. The authors introduce school-based professionals to the Family Distress and Family Outreach models, which emphasize an appreciation for the family's ability to cope with distress in ways that are consistent with its goals and values. The authors provide a framework for developing and maintaining working relationships with students' parents on the basis of the Family Outreach Model.

Family Distress

Teachers who accepted the voluntary severance package from the South African Department of Education between 1996 and 1998 were approached to take part in this study on behalf of their families. Thirty participants completed a biographical questionnaire and the Family Index of Regenerativity and Adaptation (FIRA-G) developed by McCubbin and Thompson (1991). The results confirmed the relationship between family stressors, family strains and family distress, implying that if stressors and strains are not managed, they pile up, deplete resources and lead to family tension and stress. The results also highlighted the protective nature of good financial management, suggesting that there are measurable factors which act as crisis-meeting resources, diminish the negative impact and degree of the stressor and ultimately foster resilience and facilitate recovery. Social support was highlighted as a resilience variable.
