The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the concerns and coping behaviors of families who were providing care for their teenaged Turner syndrome children. The researcher collected data on the selected families while acting as an outpatient nurse-consultant. In her dual role as observer-participant, she was able to elicit information regarding the families' primary concerns and their coping behaviors. The researcher conducted a minimum of four interviews with each family and then used content analysis techniques to categorize specific aspects of the interviewees' verbal responses. Two themes within the Turner syndrome families were identified and categorized. These were firstly, family concerns and secondly, coping behaviors. It is hoped that these results will help nurses and patients with genetic diseases to better understand the strengths and weaknesses of the relationships within families, particularly those families that are providing care for teenaged Turner syndrome children.
