Sammanfattning
The study is aimed at gaining
knowledge of need for and satisfaction
with local community support
for parents. In Kumla, a
smallish municipality in Sweden,
seven focus groups were undertaken,
covering in all 22 parents of
children aged 9 months to 15
years. The interview guide consisted
of seven themes, and, in
addition, the short version of the
KASAM questionnaire was used
to study sense of coherence. The
parents were pleased with the
programmes run by maternal and
child health services. These offered
the parents valuable support;
participation and a network of
people in a similar situation,
through continuous group sessions,
as well as confirmation in
the role as a parent. As the child
grows older these needs tend to
increase, but societal support
decreases. Preschool and school
services do not arrange regular
sessions where topics of joy and
difficulties in parenthood can be
raised. Thus, to reduce the discrepancy,
a social programme
focusing on both the growing
child and on the family should be
established.
