To examine parents' perceptions of care quality at child health centres. Specific objectives were to examine parents' perceptions of the care received and the subjective importance of such care. Furthermore, to examine the relationship between parents' sociodemographic characteristics and the perceptions of care quality.
A cross-sectional study.
A random sample of parents of children born in Sweden in 2021 participated. Data were collected by the QPP-CHC questionnaire and analysed using descriptive and analytical statistics.
The response rate was 19.4%. The targeted sample size of 210 participants was reached as 584 parents responded to the questionnaire. Parents' overall ratings of care quality at child health centres indicated optimal quality with mean values >3. However, various potential improvements areas were identified as needing additional information. These included dental care (m = 2.82), allergy prevention (m = 2.25), breastfeeding (m = 2.97), sleep (m = 2.83), the child's behaviour (m = 2.47) and the child's crying (m = 2.47). Also, parents rated suboptimal quality regarding that the care was based on healthcare routines rather than parental preferences and needs (m = 2.86). Parents born outside of the Nordic countries rated higher care quality than those born in the Nordic countries, as well as parents with a non-academic education.
Parents want information based on their preferences and needs. Parent's perceptions of areas for improvement are new and important knowledge for registered nurses at child health centres.
IMPLICATIONS FOR THE PROFESSION AND/OR PATIENT CARE: The findings indicate that parents feel that insufficient attention is given to areas of care that they perceive as important. Parents' perspectives on the care quality at child health centres is an important component of quality work and might lead to improvements in the care quality at child health centres.
The Strengthening the Reporting of Observational Studies (STROBE) checklist for cross-sectional studies was used to guide reporting.
The findings of this study suggests that parents feel that insufficient attention is given to areas of care that they perceive as important. Parents' perspectives on the care quality at child health centres provides important knowledge which can guide further development of care quality at child health centres. The findings indicate that a family-centred approach that integrates relational and routine-oriented nursing can be a way to ensure that the care is based on parents' preferences and needs. No patient or public contribution.
考察家长对儿童健康中心护理质量的看法。具体目标是探究家长对所接受护理的看法以及此类护理的主观重要性。此外，考察家长的社会人口学特征与护理质量看法之间的关系。
一项横断面研究。
对2021年在瑞典出生儿童的家长进行随机抽样参与研究。通过QPP-CHC问卷收集数据，并使用描述性和分析性统计方法进行分析。
回复率为19.4%。由于有584位家长回复了问卷，达到了目标样本量210名参与者。家长对儿童健康中心护理质量的总体评分表明质量最佳，平均值>3。然而，确定了各个需要更多信息的潜在改进领域。这些领域包括牙科护理（m = 2.82）、过敏预防（m = 2.25）、母乳喂养（m = 2.97）、睡眠（m = 2.83）、儿童行为（m = 2.47）和儿童哭闹（m = 2.47）。此外，家长认为护理基于医疗保健常规而非家长偏好和需求的质量欠佳（m = 2.86）。出生在北欧国家以外的家长对护理质量的评分高于出生在北欧国家的家长，以及非学术教育背景的家长。
家长希望获得基于其偏好和需求的信息。家长对改进领域的看法对儿童健康中心的注册护士来说是新的重要知识。
对专业和/或患者护理的启示：研究结果表明，家长觉得他们认为重要的护理领域未得到足够关注。家长对儿童健康中心护理质量的看法是质量工作的重要组成部分，可能会促使儿童健康中心的护理质量得到改善。
采用横断面研究的加强观察性研究报告（STROBE）清单来指导报告撰写。
本研究结果表明，家长觉得他们认为重要的护理领域未得到足够关注。家长对儿童健康中心护理质量的看法提供了重要知识，可指导儿童健康中心护理质量的进一步发展。研究结果表明，一种将关系型和常规导向型护理相结合的以家庭为中心的方法，可能是确保护理基于家长偏好和需求的一种方式。无患者或公众参与。
