The role of community health nurse is a support for health problems of people in the community. We think that community health nurse students must understand not only physical symptom and disease of individual but also family structure and function as a total life unit.
This paper is an attempt to grasp the way of education for the understanding of family as a total life unit for community health nurse students.
We, therefore, introduced the "Up and Down’s Figure" of health state and feeling for education of community health nurse students.
After discussing its educational effectiveness, we grasped that it was a very important tool for the understanding of family as a total life unit. We also grasped that it did not suggest the way of support or counselling for family as a total life unit.
