The Safe Environment for Every Kid (SEEK) model was developed to address psychosocial risk factors (financial worries, depressive symptoms, major parental stress, alcohol misuse and intimate partner violence) in the pediatric primary care setting but has not been evaluated from the parents' perspective. To further investigate the usefulness of SEEK, it is important to explore how parents perceive the model.
The aim of the present study was to explore parents' perceptions of the SEEK model as a part of regular health visits in the Child Health Services in Sweden.
Eighteen parents (13 women and five men) in two Swedish counties participated in the study.
Semi-structured telephone interviews were conducted, and the resulting data were analyzed using reflective thematic analysis.
Three themes were identified: Acceptance and understanding of the SEEK model in the child health services, The questionnaire as a bridge to a dialogue, and Feeling trust in the system and the child health nurse's professional competence. Further, an overarching theme was created that encompassed a core meaning of all three themes; SEEK provides a process-oriented framework to receive support in parenting with a focus on child health.
The study showed that parents express both acceptance and understanding of the SEEK model and they perceive that the model provides an avenue for repeated dialogues about the family's situation during the child's upbringing and an opportunity to access support if needed.
Safe Environment for Every Kid（SEEK）模型是为了解决儿科初级保健环境中的心理社会风险因素（经济忧虑、抑郁症状、主要父母压力、酒精滥用和亲密伴侣暴力）而开发的，但尚未从父母的角度进行评估。为了进一步研究 SEEK 的有用性，探索父母如何看待该模型非常重要。
本研究旨在探讨父母对 SEEK 模型作为瑞典儿童保健服务中常规健康访问一部分的看法。
来自瑞典两个县的 18 名父母（13 名女性和 5 名男性）参与了这项研究。
进行了半结构化电话访谈，使用反思性主题分析对所得数据进行分析。
确定了三个主题：在儿童保健服务中接受和理解 SEEK 模型、问卷作为与对话的桥梁以及对系统和儿童保健护士专业能力的信任。此外，还创建了一个涵盖所有三个主题核心意义的总体主题；SEEK 提供了一个以过程为导向的框架，以支持育儿，重点是儿童健康。
该研究表明，父母对 SEEK 模型表示接受和理解，他们认为该模型提供了一个在孩子成长过程中反复讨论家庭情况的途径，如果需要，还提供了获得支持的机会。
