No full textBarbara Preusse-Bleuler, MScN, is a faculty member at the School of Health Professions, Institute of Nursing, Zurich University of Applied Sciences in Winterthur (ZHAW), Switzerland. She has been very involved in knowledge transfer of family nursing to practice settings throughout Switzerland over several years and in many health care settings. She is a lecturer at ZHAW and initiated and supervised the translation of Wright and Leahey’s 2009, 2014, and 2019 editions of Nurses and Families: A Guide to Family Assessment and Intervention into the German language and uses the Calgary Family Assessment and Intervention Models in her knowledge translation work.
Recently, she and her colleagues at Zurich University of Applied Sciences received special funding to begin a faculty practice unit where families can receive supervised family systems care provided by a team of graduate students and faculty. This Family Systems Care Unit (FSCU) combines clinical practice with families, education and supervision of graduate and postgraduate students, and research about family systems interventions.
The FSCU started its development with substantial support of Prof. Dr. Katharina Fierz, head of the Institute of Nursing at ZHAW. The lead of the FSCU Project is Barbara Preusse with administrative support provided by Liz Staerk. Prof. Dr. André Fringer contributes expertise in family nursing research and coordinates the research team. In the clinical team, Barbara Preusse brings together family systems nursing experts with either a clinical practice background or expertise as faculty members as well as a physician.
In a first step, the clinical team of experts is developing and testing a live supervision concept which enables the team to counsel families in the context of health and illness and at the same time to educate students. Despite the special situation caused by Corona/COVID, it is possible to work with a small number of individual families and gain experience

How is expert practice at a family systems care unit best described? A framework for reporting
No full textBackground and Purpose: Expert practice in therapeutic family conversations has been established at the Family Systems Care Unit (FSCU), a real-world clinical lab at a university of applied sciences. The FSCU supports families facing health-related challenges by fostering family strengths through therapeutic conversations. The FSCU invites students and professionals to observe and to engage in these expert-led therapeutic conversations as well as in clinical reasoning about this experience. As the unit moves towards formal reporting, the question arises: How can expert practice at the FSCU best be described from a practical perspective? The goal is to develop a framework.
Models: The Calgary Family Assessment and Intervention Model, the Illness Beliefs Model and the Trinity Model are the clinical models implemented at the FSCU.
Method: The clinical team at FSCU adopted an action research approach, drawing on data from family conversations, conversation records and internal team discussions.
Results: The emerging framework organizes various elements, including family data, descriptions of expert practice, and additional outputs such as educational materials and collaborative efforts with the research team. For the clinical team, it is essential that the framework extends beyond family conversations themselves: Initial findings suggest that expert practice at FSCU is best understood as a reflexive practice - one that enhances systemic thinking and conceptualization. The framework is further enriched by considerations the diversity in families, family situations and the impact the conversations at the FSCU had on families’ everyday life.
Conclusions and Implications: The development of this framework has allowed the team to clearly define and agree on the key concepts guiding the reporting and description of expert practice from a practice perspective. This framework invites reporting and is encouraging further exploration of practice-based approaches and expert practice to promote family strength globally
Gesundheit ist Familiensache : Kompetenzentwicklung in "Family Systems Care"
No full textDer Beitrag stellt die Weiterentwicklung von Family Systems Care an der Zürcher Hochschule für Angewandte Wissenschaften (ZHAW) vor und beschreibt, wie daraus ein Konzept familiensystemischer Hebammenarbeit in Lehre und Praxis entstanden ist. Grundlage ist die Erkenntnis, dass Gesundheit nicht nur das Individuum, sondern immer auch die Familie als Ganzes betrifft. Beschrieben werden zentrale Prinzipien wie Ressourcen- und Lösungsorientierung, Allparteilichkeit sowie der Einbezug aller Familienmitglieder in Schwangerschaft, Geburt und Wochenbett. Anhand des Ausbildungskonzepts wird aufgezeigt, wie Studierende Kompetenzen in Haltung, Wissen, Kommunikation und klinischer Praxis entwickeln können, um Familien nachhaltig zu stärken, Übergänge zu begleiten und die Lebensqualität aller Beteiligten zu fördern
