NURS 436: Family Health Promotion Assignment

2 Professor: Lisa-Anne Barrett

, Genogram and Ecomap

A Genogram is a pictorial display of familial relationships that encapsulates

familial dynamics across multiple generations, serving as an overarching framework for

understanding relational, emotional, and societal connections (Robinson et al., 2022).

Correspondingly, an ecomap graphically illustrates an individual's social and personal

engagement with their environmental context (Robinson et al., 2022), functioning

essentially as a diagram of social support networks. These graphical tools are

instrumental for nurses to perform comprehensive family assessments, identifying

health concerns that persist across generations and formulating targeted interventions

(Nascimento et al., 2014). This manuscript describes the various elements of

genograms and ecograms and discusses their importance in family care assessment.

Moreover, an exemplified genogram and ecomap, specific to the author's family, are

included in the appendices.

Components of Genogram

The genogram, as Platt and Skowron (2012) elucidate, is an advanced schematic of

familial connections extending across a minimum of three generational bounds. This

comprehensive graphical tool labels individuals and their relationships, using unique

symbols to outline family networks. Such a detailed representation aids healthcare

providers, particularly nurses, in crafting systematic approaches to family-centred

interventions, considering the impacts of health issues within the family dynamics. As a

part of family nursing assessments, genograms promote the development of therapeutic

relationships between nurses and family units by catalyzing conversations that pinpoint

health-related challenges and bolster family therapy strategies (Platt & Skowron, 2012).

As well, Robinson et al. (2022) recognize the genogram as a diagnostic aid and a

means of therapeutic engagement. The attached Appendix A showcases a genogram
