[Family at-risk situation: model of care emphasizing health education].
This case study aimed at identifying family dynamics in face of risk situation, and to propose care strategies for health education based on the King's model. The case was a family considered to be at risk in the periphery of Fortaleza, Ceari, Brazil. Data were collected by domiciliary visits, participant observation, and interviews. The results showed that family care transcends the biomedical dimension, contemplates the family's perceptual field, and demands its participation in the elaboration of educational proposals aiming at the social construction of health under a participant and transforming perspective.
