Strengths-Based Nursing (SBN)

Strengths-Based Nursing (SBN) foundational roots are Nightingale and the McGill Model of Nursing. SBN develops, extends, and re-conceptualizes elements of the McGill Model of Nursing resulting in a more integrated, in-depth philosophical vision and pragmatic approach to family nursing. SBN is a value driven approach to guide nursing action in caring for persons and families that is founded on principles of: 1-Person/family centered care; 2- Empowerment; 3-Health promotion and healing; 4- Collaborative partnership; 5-Innate capacities for health and healing. SBN works with the person and family’s inner strengths and outer resources to maximize level of functioning and well-being to promote health and create conditions for healing.

Family Research Organizations

The Eastern Nursing Research Society (ERNS) in the United States is dedicated to creating a community of nurses interested in promoting and supporting regional nursing research. ERNS created an infrastructure with Research Interest Groups (RIG). The IFNA Research Committee wishes to share information about the ENRS Family/Community-Based Participatory Research Interest Group (Family-CBP RIG) here as a model for creating family-research focused groups within larger regional, national, or even international nursing organizations.
