Article Synopsis
- Childhood obesity is a significant public health concern that affects both physical and mental health, making it a challenging topic for Child Health Care (CHC) nurses to address with parents due to stigma and fear of losing trust.
- * The study aimed to explore parents' experiences during conversations with CHC-nurses about their child's overweight status, revealing that this is a sensitive subject for parents who often feel blame and struggle to cope.
- * Findings indicate that both parents and CHC-nurses have differing perspectives on health and weight, suggesting the need for mutual understanding and communication, with a focus on promoting healthy lifestyle choices rather than solely addressing weight.
