Abstract: Explores 16 public health nurses'(PHN) knowledge and use of the five components of the 15-minute interview: manners, therapeutic questions, therapeutic conversations, commendations, and the genogram and ecomap. Employs a qualitative, collaborative, educative study to conduct focus groups for gathering data in pre-and post-intervention phases with PHNs who used either a genogram or eco-map in practice over a three-month period during the intervention phase.
