The Journal of Family Nursing is a peer-reviewed journal that publishes scholarly work on nursing research, practice, education, and policy issues related to families in health and illness. The mission of the journal is to extend understanding about the relationships between families, illness, and health and how practices based on this understanding can serve to diminish suffering in families. In addition, appropriate articles of empirical and theoretical analyses on the subject of family health will be published. Both "family as context" and "family as unit" are represented. Additionally, there is a strong mandate to represent cultural diversity and families across the life cycle. Interdisciplinary and collaborative perspectives are encouraged, as are international contributions.
