Description/Overview: This symposium provides participants with the opportunity to examine nursing science research that offers new directions for nursing faculty to move beyond the individual, to a family focus. De¬spite increasing evidence of the significance of family to outcomes and health, research continues to report deficiencies in the current state of family nursing care and limitations in practicing nurses’ confidence to apply nursing research with families. Nursing education’s limited focus on family practice and health may be contributing to these concerns. Symposium presentations describe how a community of scholars in an undergraduate nursing curriculum formed research teams and examined evidence to develop learning experiences centered on the scientific and praxis research of the nursing discipline with an aim of advancing nursing practice with families. Research findings generated from inquiries and literature reviews guided faculty in transforming a curriculum to design courses and significant learning experiences that focused students on family nursing knowledge and evidence. Presentations examine multiple processes used to support faculty and students in gaining knowledge of current state of family nursing science and developing excitement for translating nursing science. Nursing education pedagogies in this academic setting address nursing practice with individuals and families with an aim of helping students to gain competence in family-focused nursing care. Presentations provide participants with a variety of teaching-learning practices based on the science of family nursing and nursing education. Authors share a variety of outcomes that include examples of faculty and student research, projects translating evidence, and teaching-learning strategies. The state of family nursing science is robust enough to transition nursing education from a predominant individual focus to family thinking necessary to transform nursing practice. This symposium enables participants to reflect on their own teaching and learning experiences that could be refined to include an individual and family focus that advances nursing practice.
