WHAT ARE THE SIX MAIN EFFECTS ON THE HEALTH OF ITS MEMBERS OF THE FAMILY ?
THE FAMILY HAS SIX MAIN EFFECTS ON THE HEALTH OF ITS MEMBER, THOSE ARE :
1. GENETIC INFLUENCES every individual is a product of interaction between
his genotype and environment recent advances in our genetic aspects of disease has made this an important subject for the family physician genetic counseling
2. THE FAMILY IS CRUCIAL IN CHILD DEVELOPMENT : there are many evidence supporting the relationship between family dysfunction and childhood disorders (physical and behavioral)

THE FAMILY HAS SIX MAIN EFFECTS ON THE HEALTH OF ITS MEMBER (cont’d)
3. SOME FAMILIES ARE MORE VULNERABLE TO ILLNESS THAN OTHERS
4. INFECTIOUS DISEASE SPREADS IN FAMILIES, e.g., streptococcal infection is related to acute and chronic family stress, respiratory and intestinal infection decrease in frequency with increasing age and the number infections falls rapidly as immunity is acquiried during the early school years

5. FAMILY FACTORS AFFECT MORBIDITY AND MORTALITY IN ADULTS.
severe family problems angina pectoris ⇑ widow or widower mortality in the first year
after bereavement.
6. THE FAMILY IS IMPORTANT IN RECOVERY FROM ILLNESS
family support is an important factor in the outcome of all kinds of illness, especially in chronic illness and disability

![Page 8: Session 4 the Family in Health and Disease 2013part 2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020519/577cc3b71a28aba71196f75a/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
IMPORTANCE OF STUDYING THE IMPACT OF ILLNESS• Sickness causes suffering and disruption for the
family • Sickness can be disruptive to family life and
hazardous to health• Sickness is embedded in a whole matrix of difficult
family problems

Impact of Illness on the family: Disease, Illness and the Family Illness Trajectory
• Major illness may have a devastating effect on whole family
• If the physician is to successfully treat the disease of the identified patient, the psychosocial problems of both the patient and the family must be recognized, diagnosed and addressed.

Health, Normal/Abnormal, Disease, Illness
Health: A state of complete physical, mental and social well-being and is not merely the absence of disease or infirmity (WHO) … struggle to achieve !
Normal/Abnormal:Physiological values or Psychological
valuese.x.: Hypertension/ no Hypertension
Consideration: Human variability1. Individual variation: vary minute to
minute, hour to hour, day to day, week to week : manifestations of the adaptability to the environmental change
2. Variation between individuals : genetics and adaptation to different environments
![Page 11: Session 4 the Family in Health and Disease 2013part 2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020519/577cc3b71a28aba71196f75a/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
Disease: primary biologic and psychophysiologic disorder.
Illness: disease + the sufferer’s experience of the disease and the broad range of dislocations felt by both the sufferer and his/her family meaning of illness is deeply embedded in the social, cultural and family context of the person who is ill.

Meaning of Illness for the Family
• Physicians investigate disease in their patients by examining clinical and laboratory evidence of biological and psychophysiologic dysfunction.
• Physicians investigate illness by exploring the meaning of illness for both their patients and the patient’s families.
![Page 13: Session 4 the Family in Health and Disease 2013part 2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020519/577cc3b71a28aba71196f75a/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
Prosedures to investigate the meaning of illness
• The patient’s explanatory models (explain the nature of their illness according to their perception) provide the cognitive framework for patient understanding the reason for onset of their illness, etiology, pathophysiology, course and outcome of their illness and how appropriate treatment may affect the trajectory of their illness.

Prosedures to investigate the meaning of illness
• Investigation of the patient’s semantic illness network the set of meanings, experiences and concerns that patients associate with their illness (previous experience with a disease or therapy)
• Investigation the family members' meaning of illness sudden sense of being vulnerable to disease
![Page 15: Session 4 the Family in Health and Disease 2013part 2](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022020519/577cc3b71a28aba71196f75a/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Passage through suffering: The family Illness Trajectory
• The natural history of an illness episode or the normal course of the psychosocial aspects of sickness for the patient and family
• Every stage of the natural history of disease has different meaning of illness to the family and family members.

• Understanding of such an illness trajectory allows FP to predict, anticipate and deal w/ family’s response to illness• What responses are normal• What responses are pathologic
