The underpinning philosophy for the center is a systemic approach with a focus on the family. All staff in the region of Småland working in palliative care will be educated in this philosophy. A board of patients and their family mem- bers will be established to ensure that a family perspective will be the driving force in all activities within the center. Dr. Benzein is a member of the International Family Nursing Association and has co-led the development of family-focused care in Sweden. She and her colleagues, Dr. Margaretha Hagberg and Dr. Britt-Inger Saveman, have just published a coedited a book in Swedish about advanced family nursing practice using “health promoting conversations” with families.
