This study aims to integrate and synthesize knowledge of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer (LGBTQ+) persons' experiences of parenthood in the context of maternal and child health care. For nurses to provide optimal care for LGBTQ+ parents, we need to derive knowledge from their perspectives. An interpretive meta-synthesis approach, meta-ethnography, was chosen for this study. A lines-of-argument synthesis based on four themes was developed: (1) Entering the world of LGBTQ+ parenthood; (2) The emotional journey in LGBTQ+ parenthood; (3) Struggling with the system as a LGBTQ+ parent and (4) A need to expand the knowledge horizon of LGBTQ+ parenthood. The overarching metaphor, "To be recognised as parents, unique and good enough, like everybody else," reflects how recognition and inclusion may support LGBTQ+ persons in their parenthood and broaden the understanding of parenthood. Knowledge of the LGBTQ+ family needs to be given greater attention in maternity and child health care settings, and in education and health policies.
本研究旨在整合并综合关于女同性恋、男同性恋、双性恋、跨性别者及酷儿（LGBTQ+）群体在母婴保健背景下为人父母经历的知识。为了让护士为LGBTQ+父母提供最佳护理，我们需要从他们的视角获取知识。本研究选择了一种诠释性元综合方法——元民族志。基于四个主题开展了一种论点线综合：（1）进入LGBTQ+为人父母的世界；（2）LGBTQ+为人父母过程中的情感历程；（3）作为LGBTQ+父母与系统作斗争；（4）需要拓展LGBTQ+为人父母的知识视野。总体隐喻“像其他人一样，被认可为独特且足够好的父母”反映了认可和包容如何在LGBTQ+群体为人父母的过程中给予支持，并拓宽对为人父母的理解。在母婴保健环境以及教育和卫生政策中，需要更加关注LGBTQ+家庭的知识。
