Abstract

Family caring is not yet fully understood by the nursing discipline as an entity apart from caring for individuals. Aesthetic expression of research findings give voice to the family experience during illness and contribute to an understanding of family caring that may transform nursing practice. The phenomenon revealed by seven families experiencing chemotherapy-induced neutropenia was turbulent waiting with intensified connections. This phenomenon was interpreted by an impressionistic artist in an acrylic painting that elicited strong emotive responses from families, researchers, nurses, and students. Visual art illuminated cancer as a family experience that would benefit from practice focused on family caring.
