    FAMILY COPING INDEX

    Hypertension
    The objective of this indicator is to present benchmark for approximating the nursing needs of a
    particular family, thus Family Coping Index. It is the coping capacity and not the underlying problem
    that is being rated, and it is designed to record family rather than individual coping capacity. In public
    health nursing, the family cannot be seen only as a factor that affects health; rather, the family is the
    patient.
    Family Coping Index is measured with the following scores:
