title: Health as expanding consciousness with families with a child with special healthcare needs.
abstract: Families have health experiences that become enfolded within their life patterns. Based within Newman's conceptualization of health as expanding consciousness, the purpose of this study was to develop knowledge about the nurse-client process of facilitating health in families who have a child with special healthcare needs. The research as praxis method was used to answer the research question, What is the evolving pattern of the nurse-client process that facilitates health as expanding consciousness in families who have a child with special healthcare needs?
