'Baby Check', an information booklet designed to aid assessment of acutely ill babies, was given to a group of socioeconomically disadvantaged families from one inner city general practice. Parents' perceptions and use of the booklet were explored in a qualitative study based on audiotaped interviews with 42 parents of 34 babies under 6 months old. Most families (26) used Baby Check spontaneously. Parents found that Baby Check was helpful, reduced anxiety and increased confidence coping with illness, seeking medical advice and communicating with doctors. Parents experienced some difficulties, e.g. they had concerns about a check for rectal temperature and they sought more information and advice about common illnesses. Parents valued and were empowered by access to 'medical' information. Further evaluation and consultation with parents is required to ensure that information is relevant to their needs.
《婴儿检查》是一本旨在帮助评估急症婴儿的信息手册，被分发给了来自市中心一家全科诊所的一群社会经济地位不利的家庭。在一项定性研究中，通过对34名6个月以下婴儿的42位家长进行录音访谈，探讨了家长对该手册的认知和使用情况。大多数家庭（26个）自发使用了《婴儿检查》。家长们发现，《婴儿检查》很有帮助，减轻了焦虑，增强了应对疾病、寻求医疗建议以及与医生沟通的信心。家长们也遇到了一些困难，比如他们对直肠温度检查有所顾虑，并且寻求更多关于常见疾病的信息和建议。家长们重视获取“医疗”信息，并因此获得了力量。需要进一步与家长进行评估和咨询，以确保信息符合他们的需求。
