Sammanfattning
Child-Health Centres (CHC) in Sweden have a very good reputation. Despite the non-obligatory status of the CHC, most families visit these centres. With the purpose of studying nurses' work in general and especially in relation to their dealing with crying infants, an interview study was carried out at eight CHCs in a district in Stockholm. The results were analysed with focus on nurse-parent relationships, paternalism, and nursing subculture. The findings of this study suggest that nurses at CHC work purposefully to develop a favourable relationship with parents, though sometimes they adopt a paternalistic approach. Their knowledge of research in pediatrics in general and in child health care in particular is good, but a degree of wariness of research findings is evident.
