The analyzes resulted in the categories “To adept the preparation according to the child and the situation to breed a confident relation” and “To give safety and be flexible at difficulties”. In the result it emerged that all nurses prepared the children with authentic material and information but adapted the preparation by the children's age and cognitive development.
