In Norway, public health nurses (PHNs) are responsible for giving parents nutritional knowledge, but limited research describes how they perceive this task. This study explores PHNs' perceptions and experiences on nutritional guidance for parents of infants and toddlers. Semistructured interviews with six PHNs were conducted and transcribed verbatim. Data were subjected to thematic analysis. Five main themes were identified: (1) Dietary guidance for parents is central to the work; (2) PHNs perceive they have parents' trust, and parents are in general open to nutrition counselling; (3) food and meals must be seen in light of the family context; (4) The dialogue must be adapted to the individual family; and (5) PHNs have expertise on nutrition; however, updating knowledge is difficult. Nutritional guidance was perceived by PHNs as a core activity. They felt that they had parents' trust, and that parents were particularly open to nutritional guidance during the first 2 years. Counselling was generally well received, but conversations on overweight were perceived as difficult. PHNs strove to tailor their guidance to individual needs. However, providing guidance on a wide range of issues in different families and cultures could be challenging. They acknowledged a need for updating knowledge but the offer of courses was sparse. Our findings suggest a discrepancy between how nutrition is prioritized in the education of PHNs and what they encounter in clinical practice. In the future, this should be given more attention given the PHNs' unique position to promote healthy eating and long-term health.

公共衛(wèi)生護士對嬰幼兒家長營養(yǎng)指導的看法和經(jīng)驗的定性研究

在挪威，公共衛(wèi)生護士 (PHN) 負責向父母提供營養(yǎng)知識，但有限的研究描述了他們?nèi)绾慰创@項任務。本研究探討了 PHN 對嬰幼兒父母營養(yǎng)指導的看法和經(jīng)驗。對六名 PHN 進行了半結構化訪談并逐字記錄。數(shù)據(jù)進行了主題分析。確定了五個主題：（1）家長飲食指導是工作的核心； (2) PHN 認為他們得到了家長的信任，家長普遍愿意接受營養(yǎng)咨詢； （三）食物和膳食必須結合家庭情況考慮； (4) 對話必須適合個別家庭； (5) PHN 擁有營養(yǎng)方面的專業(yè)知識；然而，更新知識是困難的。 PHN 將營養(yǎng)指導視為一項核心活動。他們覺得自己得到了父母的信任，并且父母在頭兩年特別愿意接受營養(yǎng)指導。咨詢服務普遍受到好評，但有關超重的對話被認為很困難。 PHN 努力根據(jù)個人需求定制指導。然而，為不同家庭和文化中的各種問題提供指導可能具有挑戰(zhàn)性。他們承認需要更新知識，但提供的課程很少。我們的研究結果表明，PHN 教育中營養(yǎng)的優(yōu)先順序與他們在臨床實踐中遇到的情況之間存在差異。鑒于 PHN 在促進健康飲食和長期健康方面的獨特地位，未來應給予更多關注。
