Sammanfattning
A new method for treatment in
children born with esophagealatresia
was started to use under
the spring of 2001 in a Children’s
University Hospital in Sweden,
daily dilatation with remaining
dilatation balloon. Esophagealatresia
is a congenital anomaly
that treats with operation. Post
operative there might be need for
dilatations in the operation area
which is performed at the hospital.
The parents are important in
the care of their child. There are
no previous studies made to examine
parent’s experiences of this
new treatment method. The purpose
with the study was to
explore parent’s experiences of
the treatment method. A qualitative
approach was chosen and
semi structured interviews were
performed with eleven parents.
The result demonstrated that the
parents were satisfied with the
new treatment method. The themes
that come to light were communication/
involvement, wellbeing
and tolerance. There is
need for more specific information
about the treatment period
and practical issues concerning
the care for the child.
