Abstract

The family develops complex strategies for actions and relationships among its members, in order to maintain health and life continuity. It is important for nursing to learn more about the ways families care and promote their health, making its practice more focused on the reality in that group of people. This paper aims to address the reference about family routines and rituals, by elucidating its origin and key concepts. As a methodology, it was used articles selection through the BIREME electronic library, starting from the descriptors: family routines/family ritual/rituals. The results show that discussions about this topic have started in the 50s and they have been addressed by the health international literature, with different approaches. It became important for nursing in the 90s, when it was used in different family contexts. However, most studies indicate family routines and rituals can be applied to positively influence the family health.
