摘要：This is a reflexive study which aims at exploring the theoretical notions about family and family health that emerge from the literature. At first, the publications about the Family Health Program were selected. The results suggest that the term family health is referred as a strategy and as a proposal of change in the field of health care. However, it arises as an articulated group of principles, objectives, beliefs and practices that may aid in the formation of a theoretical understanding about family health. Secondly, the concepts of family, family health and nursing elaborated by a group that works in the area presented. After that, an approximation between those concepts and the theoretical notions identified by the study is sought. At last, the work is concluded with suggestions for the theoretical advance in the formulation of concepts of family, family health and family nursing.
