title: [Theoretical assessment of family-centered care].
abstract: The purpose of this study was to develop a theoretical concept system to describe family-centred care in a child welfare clinic. A hybrid model was used as a method for concept development. The aim was to test categories which describe family-centred care. The categories were based on the review of the literature and on the analyse based on the interviews of the public health nurses and their client families. The results show that family-centred care at the child welfare clinic can be described by six categories: the life situation and the living conditions of the family, the individuality of the family, the relationship between the family and the public health nurse, nursing actions, the expert knowledge of the public health nurse and her individuality. The results show the different levels of family-centered care. The child, all the members of the family or the whole family system can be chosen as a starting point of nursing. The public health nurses considered that the whole family is the starting point of the family-centered nursing.
