Working with families: an intervention model for rehabilitation nurses.
This article describes a model for working with families of disabled persons. The proposed model suggests knowledge and skills that help the family adjust to the changes imposed by a disability and become partners in the rehabilitation process. Particular attention is focused on identifying family needs, with an emphasis on short-term intervention at specific "trigger" points in the rehabilitation process. Time-limited intervention strategies, education, support, and prevention also are described.
