The article is based on the experiences made through guidance in nursing education and research where the focus is on the participation of the family, or lack of participation, when a family member is affected by an illness. The need of allowing the family perspective in nursing education is discussed in this article, along with the need of raising knowledge about the topic concerning family and close relatives. Nursing education should include a curriculum that reflects knowledge based upon the families experience of having close relatives that goes through illness and changes in their life situation.</span></em></span></span></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">&nbsp;</span></span></em></p><p class="MsoNormal" style="margin: 0cm 0cm 0pt;"><em style="mso-bidi-font-style: normal;"><span style="mso-ansi-language: EN-US;" lang="EN-US"><span style="font-family: Times New Roman; font-size: small;">Education and supervision in both theoretical and practical studies should to a larger extend allow the family perspective to be a guidance for the students.

Summary
I likhet med Wærness (2002) og andre forskere er vårt anliggende å få økt oppmerksomhet på familien som nære pårørende og stille spørsmål til hvordan helsetjenesten generelt og sykepleietjenesten spesielt tar inn over seg et familieperspektiv i utdanning og yrke (Wærness 2002: 17-31). En kvalitativ undersøkelse innen lavterskeltilbud for mennesker med psykiske lidelser i tre norske kommuner viser at familieperspektivet er et ikke tema innenfor bistand og støtte for brukerne. Hjelperne tok ikke på alvor utfordringen med å møte den enkelte familie og undersøke deres behov for oppfølging, veiledning eller annen form for støtte. Når de samme hjelperne hevder at de har et helhetlig syn på menneske harmonerer dette lite med at de nære pårørende til brukerne opplever seg oversett og uteglemt som deltager (Finstad 2005). Undersøkelsen viser til tjenesteapparatets høye kompetanse for å behandle og rehabilitere brukerne i deres hjemkommune, men forskerne hevder at det er en lang vei å gå før de pårørende blir tatt med på råd og får den støtte og veiledning som de har behov for i rehabiliteringsfasen (Rundskriv I-36/2001)
