In the new integrated program of care for childhood overweight and obesity (ICCO), a Youth Health Care (YHC) nurse has the role of a coordinating professional. After a broad assessment of strengths and weaknesses in the family setting, this coordinating professional makes a plan of action with the child and parents and involves other professionals when needed. The aim of this study was to explore the experiences of parents and children with the coordinating professional in the ICCO.
MATERIAL & METHODS: Semi-structured interviews were conducted with eight families. Interview data were analyzed using content analysis. In addition, descriptive data on involved professionals and referrals was collected with an online questionnaire in 38 families.
In total, eight families (8 mothers, 2 fathers, four boys and three girls aged 10-12 yrs) were interviewed and 38 children and parents filled in (three consecutive) online questionnaires.
The main themes related to the experiences of parents and children with the CP: parents and children felt supported and understood by the coordinating professional. They appreciated the broad perspective and personal approach. Contacts with the coordinating professional were not always frequent. Major points of improvement concerned the intensity of the follow-up and collaboration. Only few parents experienced collaboration between the coordinating professional and other professionals in the ICCO.
Parents and children appreciated the personal approach of the Youth Health Care nurse as a CP. The role of the coordinating professional, however, appears not fully implemented yet. Strengthening the promising role of the coordinating professional in the ICCO is recommended.
在儿童超重和肥胖综合护理新方案（ICCO）中，青年保健护士（YHC）扮演着协调专业人员的角色。在对家庭环境中的优势和劣势进行广泛评估后，这位协调专业人员与孩子和家长一起制定行动计划，并在需要时涉及其他专业人员。本研究旨在探讨家长和孩子对 ICCO 中协调专业人员的体验。
对 8 个家庭进行了半结构化访谈。使用内容分析法对访谈数据进行分析。此外，通过 38 个家庭的在线问卷收集了涉及专业人员和转介的描述性数据。
共对 8 个家庭（8 位母亲、2 位父亲、4 名 10-12 岁男孩和 3 名女孩）进行了访谈，38 名儿童和家长连续填写了（三）份在线问卷。
与协调专业人员相关的家长和孩子体验的主要主题包括：家长和孩子感到被协调专业人员支持和理解。他们赞赏其广泛的视角和个人方法。与协调专业人员的联系并不总是频繁。主要改进点涉及随访和合作的强度。只有少数家长体验到协调专业人员与 ICCO 中的其他专业人员之间的合作。
家长和孩子赞赏青年保健护士作为协调专业人员的个人方法。然而，协调专业人员的角色似乎尚未完全实施。建议加强协调专业人员在 ICCO 中的有前途的作用。
