Bakgrund: Barnvaccinationsprogrammet är den mest framgångsrika medicinska insatsen för folkhälsan. Information kring barnvaccinationer sprids snabbt och lätt via media och informationskanaler, så som Facebook och YouTube. Denna information är inte alltid kritiskt granskad och misstänkta biverkningar kan då tendera att överskattas. Det finns en rad olika anledningar till att vissa föräldrar är tveksamma till barnvaccination. BHV-sjuksköterskans uppgift är att möta alla föräldrar med respekt och genom korrekt information ge föräldrarna ett beslutsunderlag inför vaccinationen. En bristande kommunikation mellan BHV-sjuksköterskan och föräldrarna kan bidra till ökad oro, vilket kan leda till att föräldrarna väljer att avstå vaccination. Syfte: Syftet var att beskriva BHV-sjuksköterskors erfarenheter av kommunikation med föräldrar inför barnvaccinationer. Metod: Semistrukturerade intervjuer med nio BHV-sjuksköterskor. Studien har analyserats med hjälp av en kvalitativ innehållsanalys. Resultat: I resultatet framkom att samtliga deltagare i studien upplevde att de flesta föräldrarna hade en positiv inställning till barnvaccination. Studien visade att BHV-sjuksköterskorna ansåg att de gav en bra och tydlig information till föräldrarna. Samtidigt menade deltagarna att spridningen av information kunde förbättras. Det framkom att det finns skillnader i när BHV-sjuksköterskorna ger information till föräldrarna. Deltagarna i studien kände sig trygga i mötet med föräldrar och kring kommunikation av information inför vaccination. Slutsats: Studien visar att BHV-sjuksköterskorna känner trygghet kring kommunikation, både med information inför vaccination och att bemöta tveksamma föräldrar. BHV-sjuksköterskorna beskriver att de inom organisationen har en bra och tydlig information. / Background: The childhood vaccination program is the most successful medical response to public health. Despite this, there have always been negative voices about vaccination. Information about childhood vaccinations is spread quickly and easily through media and information channels, such as Facebook and YouTube. This information is not always critically reviewed and suspected sideeffects may then be overestimated. Evidence shows that there is a variety of reasons why some parents have doubt about childhood vaccination. Child Health nurse's task is to meet all parents with respect and give correct information so the parents have a decision basis for vaccination. A lack of communication between the Child Health nurse and the parents can contribute to increased concern, which may lead to the parents choosing to abstain from vaccination. Aim: The aim was to describe Child Health nurse's experiences of communicating with parents before childhood vaccinations. Method: Semi-structured interviews with nine Child Health nurses. The study has been analyzed using a qualitative content analysis. Results: The result showed that all participants in the study felt that most parents had a positive attitude towards childhood vaccination. The study showed that the Child Health nurses felt that they provided a good and distinct information to the parents. At the same time, participants believed that the dissemination of information could be improved. It showed that there are differences in when Child Health nurses present information to the parents. The participants in the study felt safe in the meeting with parents and about communication of information prior to vaccination. Conclusion: The study showed that Child Health nurses felt secure about communication, both with information before vaccination and in meeting hesitent parents. Child Health nurses described that they had good and distinct information within the organization.
