Abstract
This article reports the results of a scoping review of research applications of the Family Management Style Framework (FMSF) and the Family Management Measure (FaMM). We identified 32 studies based on the FMSF and 41 studies in which the FaMM was used, 17 of which were based on the FMSF. Both the framework and measure have been used by investigators in multiple countries, with most applications of the FaMM outside the United States. Although the FMSF and FaMM were originally developed for use with families in which there was a child with a chronic physical condition, both have been applied to a broader range of health conditions and to studies focusing on families with an adult member facing a health challenge. Based on our findings, we make recommendations for how researchers can more fully address all aspects of the FMSF.
Highlights
The Family Management Style Framework (FMSF) was named as the conceptual grounding in 32 studies and the Family Management Measure (FaMM) was used in 41 studies, 17 of which were based on the FMSF
Studies using the FaMM and citing the FMSF were tallied under the FaMM
Most researchers using the FaMM focused on family management of childhood chronic conditions, we identified several that used the FaMM to study family life in the context of an adult family member who was living with their parents due to cognitive or physical deficits
