Abstract: The independently funded 10 month pilot project demonstrated the autonomy of nursing practice for a new role family nurse. The findings were presented as the health experience of families in strife with complex health circumstances, a description of a beginning model for the nursing practice that addressed the needs of these families as their circumstances changed over time, and its cost-effectiveness. A caseload of nineteen families was found to be optimum. The evaluation research continued throughout as a form of praxis expressed as health patterning, a methodology developed in previous research (Litchfield, 1993). The family nurse'spractice demonstrated qualities common to all nurses: the caring relationship and fiscal responsibility. The unique practice was characterised by a professional partnership of limited duration: the families referred to the service in a predicament of strife, trapped in the immediate present, gained a view to a future, moved towards assuming control over health circumstances, seeking and using services with discernment, and increasing community as family/group members and citizens. Cost containment was achieved through: a) development of a co-operative approach amongst family members, between families and professionals, and amongst all health workers, and b) the families discerning use of services by anticipating a future. Through one family case, cost of saving over the 7 months with the family nurse was estimated as $4000, a possible saving of $16000 over 13 months if the family nurse had been involved earlier, and projected savings in the long term of over a million dollars. The satisfaction of clients, nurses and professionals was shown. The service was positioned within the new health system of health reforms
