fight an illness with an aim of getting better. For instance, a patient may fight to get well to be
reunited with his or her family at home (Kaakinen, Coehlo, Steele, & Robinson, 2018). In case a

the nuclear, biological, sole-parents, homosexual families, and stepfamilies (Creswell & Clark,
2017). Learning families as a nurse is helpful because one gets to interact with them on a daily
basis. The overall illness of a patient affects family members and it is, therefore, crucial for one
