Abstract

Family development occurs through stages and transitions over time, which leads to expected or unexpectedchanges. This article presents aspects of the changing roles, tasks and family care of two rural families, of three and fourgenerations, living in a municipality from the Médio Vale do Itajaí, Santa Catarina state. It is a convergent-assistentialresearch, which data collection took place during the assistance, supplemented by interviews, genogram, ecomap andobservation. Data and content analysis was performed and the results were discussed by the family’s vital cycle perspective.The expected maturational transitions show the process of family inheritance, the challenge of young couples facingparental roles and on building their own family model with other members’ participation. The unexpected situationaltransitions involve changes in agricultural and domestic tasks, in the situation of family illness and negotiation of roles,such as the caregiver one. Through the development of this study we could find out the aspects of the rural families’development and their care, which could contribute to family nursing care within this context.
