Objective: To evaluate nurses’ family adaptability, cohesion, and functionality during the state of emergency.
Materials and method: The following is an exploratory, quantitative, descriptive, and cross-sectional study. We used a snowball sample, non-probabilistic, and for convenience. For data collection, we used an instrument consisting of a sociodemographic questionnaire; a family, housing, and cohabitation characterization questionnaire; a Duvall’s Family Life Cycle Assessment Scale; a Family Adaptability and Cohesion Evaluation Scale (FACES II); and Family-Scale Adaptation, Partnership, Growth, Affection, and Resolve (APGAR) that measures family function.
Results: 125 responses were obtained, being identified the following aspects as predictors of better APGAR, Cohesion, and Adaptability: better housing conditions; families with three or more members; mature families, with children or adult children; individuals teleworking and households in which no more than one member is socially isolated. Age is a predictor of lower adaptability and cohesion.
Conclusions: Twenty percent of families (APGAR) have moderate or severe dysfunction; 4.8 % are classified as “extreme” families, and 39.2 % as “very balanced” (FACES II), therefore being at risk.
Objetivos: evaluar la cohesión, adaptabilidad, y funcionalidad familiar de los enfermeros durante el tiempo de emergencia.
Materiales y método: se trata de un estudio exploratorio, cuantitativo, descriptivo y transversal. Se utilizó una muestra de bola de nieve no probabilística y de conveniencia. Para la recolección de datos se utilizó un cuestionario sociodemográfico; un cuestionario para caracterizar la familia, la vivienda y la convivencia familiar; Escala de Evaluación del Ciclo Vital de Duvall; una Escala de Adaptación y Cohesión Familiar (FACES II); y la Escala de Calificación Familiar de Adaptación, Asociación, Crecimiento, Afecto y Resolución (APGAR), que evalúa la funcionalidad familiar.
Resultados: se obtuvieron 125 respuestas, y se identificaron como predictores de mejor APGAR, Cohesión y Adaptabilidad: las mejores condiciones de vivienda; familias con tres o más elementos; familias maduras, con niños o hijos adultos; en teletrabajo. El incremento de la edad predice peor adaptabilidad y cohesión.
Conclusiones: presentan disfunción moderada o severa 20,0 % de las familias (APGAR). 4,8 % se clasifican como tipo familiar “extremo” y 39,2 % como “muy equilibrado” (FACES II), por tanto, de riesgo.

Resultados: obtiveram-se 125 respostas, sendo identificados como preditores de melhor APGAR, coesão e adaptabilidade: melhores condições de habitação; famílias com três ou mais membros; famílias maduras, com filhos ou filhos adultos; os que estão em teletrabalho; e agregados em que mais do que um membro não está em isolamento social. O aumento da idade é um preditor de pior adaptabilidade e coesão.
Conclusões: apresentam moderada ou acentuada disfunção 20 % das famílias (APGAR) e 4,8 % são classificadas tipo de família “extrema” e 39,2 % como “muito equilibrada” (FACES II) e, portanto, em risco.
