Exploring Family Nursing Research and Translating Evidence into Practice: Perspectives from Portugal, Spain and Brazil
Level of Workshop: Intermediate
Description
This workshop will explore current research on family nursing from the Ibero-American Chapter of the International Family Nursing Association, with a focus on Portugal, Spain, and Brazil. Participants will gain insight into the state of family nursing research through a scoping review that maps available evidence in these countries.
The workshop will also guide attendees through the process of developing a national chapter and translating research into clinical practice. Interactive components will include hands-on sessions on how to map evidence and apply it to practice, ensuring the use of best practices in family-centred care.

Integrating Policy into Nursing Scholarship: A Stepwise approach
Level of Workshop: Novice / Intermediate
Description:
Attention to policy change or development leads to transforming health and sustaining healthcare change for individuals and families worldwide. Yet, incorporating policy into research, education, and practice is not intuitive and is often an afterthought. As change agents, family nurses are instrumental in promoting health, overcoming barriers to healthcare access, and advocating for healthcare solutions and innovations, all of which are impacted by policy. This interactive workshop is designed to promote and empower family nurses to utilize strategies for successful policy engagement. Participants will engage in a stepwise approach to practically, proactively, and effectively incorporate policy components into their work.
** Please note: This workshop results from the work and networking occurring through the IFNA Research Collaboration Subcommittee of the Research Committee and the policy ad hoc committee. Members attending these meetings have been discussing the importance of incorporating policy in their scholarship including research, education and practice for more than five years with mentoring by Dr. Suzanne Feetham. The question of “how” to include policy has been a repeating theme over several years. This workshop was developed in response to member inquiry and need.

Attendees of this interactive workshop will learn about genomics nursing competencies; current and future challenges in genomics education, research, practice, and policy/leadership; ethical and legal implications; and health equity in genomics family nursing. Content is essential for family nurses as genomics moves from specialty to routine care for individuals across the lifespan. Participants will engage with faculty and attendees in breakout groups and establish connections with international colleagues.

Understanding Fathers’ Contributions to Family Well-Being and Applying Father Inclusive Practices within Families.
Level of Workshop: Intermediate
Description: For over 50 years, extensive research outcomes support the multifaceted positive effects of paternal involvement on various aspects of family and children’s well-being. Nurses are in a privileged position to promote fathers’ status as being on equal footing with mothers within a family-centered care approach and to act as ambassadors for fathers, mothers, and co-parents. This interactive workshop will incorporate theoretical underpinnings of father involvement and its contribution on family’s, mothers’, children’s and fathers’ welfare, as well as propose an intervention model to implement father inclusive practices within health care and community settings.

Community-Based Participatory Design: Intervention Co-Creation Methods and Strategies When Engaging Culturally and Linguistically Diverse Families
Level of Workshop: Novice / Intermediate
Description: Less than 1% of nurses globally consider themselves innovators in practice or research. However, nurses are the most trusted profession and play a role in creating relationships with families to support quality outcomes and health enhancement. This workshop will define community-based participatory design and offer actionable ways to foster innovation among family nurses, researchers, and community members when developing or implementing novel interventions in under-engaged, never-engaged, and diverse family cultures as well as geographic settings. Novice and intermediate learners will enhance their skills in building meaningful solutions that empower families and support cultural humility in participatory design.

Level of Workshop: Novice/Intermediate
Description:
This workshop will deliver strategies to establish and maintain culturally safe clinical practice to promote health equality. Culturally safe care recognises differences of culture, language, indigenous groups and minority groups and seeks to understand and ensure their needs are met in a manner that is acceptable to them. Australia and New Zealand have National Safety and Quality Health Service (NSQHS) Standards which provide guidelines for understanding how to provide culturally safe clinical care. This workshop will develop your understanding and skills as a clinician and researcher to work with culturally diverse groups and ensure culturally safe practice.

Description:
Nursing careers are diverse, and sometimes nurses are unsure of where their careers are headed. Career cartography is a proactive strategy for clarifying one’s destination, connecting the past and the future, and identifying the steps toward that destination. It is also a strategy to acquire the ability to demonstate to others their research and scholarship outcomes. In this pre-conference, participants will understand how to clarify destination and its guiding map through career cartography case studies. Participants will learn how to empower their own future activities toward their destinations by sharing them with other participants in a group work.

Level of Workshop: Novice/Intermediate
Description:
Building a program of family research can be a daunting task. This interactive workshop will gather an international panel of family nurse scientists from various career stages to explore ways to create, develop, or change a research trajectory and share successes and challenges. Topics will include developing family research, pivoting an established research program mid-career, and integrating personal and professional challenges. Interactive breakout sessions will allow deeper discussion for you to incubate new networks and research ideas, challenge you to innovate and think differently about research, and inspire you as you work with families in research, practice, and education.
** This workshop is a result of the work and networking occurring through the IFNA Research Collaboration Subcommittee of the Research Committee. Members attending these meetings identified that learning from members about issues at different career stages as their research path develops and changes provides an invaluable perspective and is important in building the “family of family scientists.” The present and past Co-chairs of the research collaboration subcommittee are responding to member input by offering a formalized venue for discussion through this preconference.

Pediatric Mental Health Issues: A New Perspective for Assessment and Intervention
Presenters:
Michelle Mauch MSN, APRN-CNP, PMHNP-BC | Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, USA
Deborah Miller MSN, APRN-CNP, PMHNP-BC, CNE | Cincinnati Children’s Hospital Medical Center, USA
Level: Novice/Intermediate
Description:
Over 13 percent of children worldwide are diagnosed with a psychiatric/mental health disorder, however this figure may not accurately reflect the daily challenges families face with their children. We will use the Contemporary Diagnostic Interview and principles of attachment theory to delve into aspects of temperament, cognition, cognitive flexibility, and personality; and explore how each may influence a child’s psychiatric presentation. We will describe pragmatic interventions clinicians can teach families to support optimal child and family functioning based on the child’s individual temperament and cognitive deficits, as well as the family’s unique needs—all rooted in a holistic, biopsychosocial approach.

The workshop focuses on the first three years of development, explaining how a team of clinical experts established a reflective clinical practice. This is a relevant decisive condition for providing deep insight for students at all levels. Postmaster students can join a supervised trainee program. As all family interviews are recorded, a growing database is generated for research. This provides the possibility to generate and combine practice- and research-based evidence.
