A genogram is a diagram of a family tree that includes 3 generations and symbols to denote relationships and health conditions. It helps nurses understand the family structure and hereditary health issues. An ecomap shows connections between a family and community resources to understand support systems and potential conflicts.

    Genogram

    FAMILY HEALTH ASSESSMENT


    Genogram
    • The usefulness of the genogram is limited by
    how freely the family member relates
    significant information such as separations and
    remarriages or family health concerns.
    • Some families may be sensitive in sharing of
    such information, particularly when it is shown
    to recur with each generation.
    • For other families, the development of the
    genogram is an excellent opening to the
    discussion of family history or hereditary
    health problems.

    Ecomap
    • The ecomap shows contacts that occur between the family
    and the suprasystem.
    • “Ecomap portrays an overview of the family in their
    situation; it depicts the important nurturant or conflict-laden
    connections between the family and the world. It
    demonstrate the flow of resources, or the lacks and
    deprivations. this mapping procedure highlights the nature
    of the interfaces and points to conflicts to be mediated,
    bridges to be built, and resources to be sought and
    mobilized.” (Hartman, 1979)
    • This tool helps increase the nurse’s awareness of the family
    within the community and help guide the nurse and the
    family in the assessment and planning phases of care.
