“…Family structure and function is expected to bear a relationship to family health and health behavior, but this relationship has not been defined primarily because of the methodological problems. Recent systematic information on family decision-making is as limited as data on health seeking behavior within the context of the family (Ferreira & Winter, 1968;Pless & Satterwhite, 1973;Reiss, 1967aReiss, , 1967b.…”

Objective and Specific Aims: This study proposes to identify factors associated with family reasoning and decision making leading to consent to treatment for a family member experiencing life-threatening illness. A sample of 15 families will be interviewed following successful (amorbid) coronary bypass surgery for an adult member, in order to obtain information on ethical reasoning and decison processes within the family unit. This pilot investigation is for the purposes of documenting the rational decision phenomenon and is preliminary to planned future study of family functioning and action regarding treatment options in other situations. The specific aims of this study are 1) to determine the ethical influences on the family's election of coronary artery bypass surgery and 2) to describe the major factors associated with decision making in the situation.

The entire family participates in the success of the home dialysis patient. Isolation and study of discrete quantifiable aspects of behavior within the family may allow identification of patients with a greater risk of failure, thus making it possible to help such patients succeed. A single such factor, ‘intrafamily identity’, measured in each of 40 diverse families before one family member began a home dialysis program, was found to correlate with success in the program 1 year later. This finding also may contribute to an understanding of systematic patterns of behavior within all families, with special emphasis upon the ability of family members to cope with continuing stress.
