摘要:
This article highlights 20 years of family nursing development and evolution in Thailand in the areas of education, practice, and research. The progress of family nursing in Thailand has been impressive and steady despite the challenges of nursing policy, conceptualization controversies, and knowledge transfer. One of the most unique and hopeful developments has been the establishment of health centers that have a designated family nurse responsible for approximately 300 households. Future dreams for family nursing in Thailand are also offered.
