Sammanfattning

Three obese nurses talk about their experience talking to patients with a weight problem. Patients find it difficult to regard obese nurses as role models in relation to conversations about health promotion. Weight problems are not a personal matter, but rather a professional issue to which nurses in clinical nursing practice must relate. Obese patients do not trust nurses with a weight problem and experience disharmony between what the nurses say and what they demonstrate with their own bodies. This begs the question: Does a nurse have to be of average weight to engage in health-promotional interviews with obese patients? Will the hospital service of the future have both a smoking policy and a dietary policy for its staff?
