title: The mutual-participation relationship: key to facilitating self-care practices in clients and families.
abstract: The relationship among formal providers, clients, and families in home care is critical. If clients and family care givers are to develop adequate and safe self-care practices, they must be involved in mutual decision making concerning issues related to the illness and the care to be given. A relationship of mutual participation involves facilitating and negotiating goals with clients and their family members.
