The Child Health Care Nurse's Preventive Work for Children with Fever : An Interview Study (English)
Abstract [sv]

Bakgrund: Hos barn i åldern noll till fem år är feber ett vanligt symtom vid sjukdom. Det är därför viktigt att vårdnadshavare förstår betydelsen av egenvård för att kunna ta hand om sitt barn i sin hemmiljö. Syfte: Syftet var att belysa barnhälsovårdssjuksköterskans preventiva arbete för barn med feber. Metod: Vald metod var kvalitativ design med induktiv ansats. Intervjuer av 11 specialistutbildade sjuksköterskor innefattande distriktssköterskor samt sjuksköterskor med specialistutbildning inom hälso- och sjukvård av barn och ungdomar. Barnhälsovårdssjuksköterskor (BHV-sjuksköterskor) i både privat samt regional regi deltog från två Halländska kommuner. Resultat: Tre kategorier: Information till vårdnadshavare, stöd till vårdnadshavare och egenvårdsrådgivning utgjorde resultatet. Därefter tillkom underkategorier. Likvärdigt resultat har kunnat ses hos deltagande BHV-sjuksköterskor. Konklusion: Slutsatsen var att majoriteten av BHV-sjuksköterskorna ansåg att det fanns ett stort behov av egenvårdsutbildning om barn med feber för vårdnadshavare. Goda kunskaper om egenvård av barn med feber kan troligtvis förhindra en del besök till akutmottagning. 

Abstract [en]

Background: In children aged zero to five years, fever is a common symptom of illness. It is therefore essential that the caregiver understands the importance of self-care to effectively care for their child at home. Aim: The aim was to illuminate the preventive efforts of the child health care nurse for children with fever. Method: The chosen method was qualitative design with an inductive approach. Interviews of 11 specialist nurses including district nurses and nurses with specialist training in health care of children and adolescents. Child health Care nurses (CHC nurses) in both private and regional management participated from two municipalities in Halland. Results: Three categories: Information to guardians, support to guardians and self-care counselling constituted the result. Subcategories were then added. Similar results have been seen in participating child health nurses. Conclusion: The conclusion was that the majority of the child health care nurses felt there was a significant need for self-care education regarding children with fever for caregivers. Good knowledge of self-care of children with fever can probably prevent some visits to the emergency department.
