Family Systems Theory
Views family as a complex system of interconnected and interdependent individuals
Types of families
Traditional, non-traditional
Traditional and legal family definition:
Family mems are related by legal ties or genetic relationships
Non-traditional family def
2 people who say they are “family” and are bound by emotional ties
Family development theory
Family is a developing group which goes through stages
Fam members must perform certain time specific tasks
Disequilibrium is common when entering a new stage, w/ goal of hemostasis w/I stages
Family systems theory
Inter-relatedness
* A fam consists of more than just the “sum” of its parts-its members
* A change in one mem affects the whole fam
o V important in peds care
Interaction
* ‘Who I am’ or ‘Who I have become’ dependent on fam relationships and interactions
* Is it helpful to blame our fam for our problems and issues
* We also interact w/the environment and community which also influences who we are
Boundaries: Imaginary but real lines between fam mems and also between fam and the “outside world”
Family stress theory
Stress is a definite part of fam life
One fam’s crisis may be another fam’s challenge
The ability to handle stress depends on 4 factors:
* Basic fam type or attributes (dysfunctional vs health/stable
* Amount of resources/support the fam has
* Fam’s perception of the stressful event
* Fam’s learned coping strategies: When stressors exceed the fam ability to cope crisis occurs
Family role theory:
Role is defined by culture
Most ppl assumes several roles (student, employee, spouse. Etc.)
Role expectations: expectations about behaviors and feelings that a role should include
Role stress/strain
* Subjective reaction when trying to meet all role expectations
Role transitions
Myometrium
2nd or middle layer of the uterine wall
* Consists of smooth musc fibers arranged in 3 diff directions
o Longitudinal
o Transverse
o Oblique
Hypothalamus produces
o Gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH)
Aka Luteinizing hormone-releasing hormone (LHRH)
o GnRH are “sex hormone” for both males and females
Pituitary produces:
o Follicle-stimulating hormone (SH)
o Luteinizing hormone (LH)
Ovary produces:
o Estrogen
o Progesterone
When is mensuration

LMP
Last mensural period
Length of mensuration
5-6 days
What is menstruation
Blood and tissue from the previous cycle
When is the endometrium thinnest
during the menstruation period
What are hormones like during menstruation period
(estrogen and progesterone) = lowest, causing top layers of the lining to release and leave the body
Order of the uterine cycle
menstruation, proliferation, secretory
Mensuration (when)
from the time vaginal bleeding starts to the time it ends
