Abstract

According to the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child, children are entitled to express their own views and to be heard. The use of pictorial support in child-specific information from the child health services may improve children’s ability to participate in their own healthcare. This study aimed to explore the experiences of five-year-old children and their caregivers regarding pictorial material used by the child health services in western Sweden. Semi-structured interviews were conducted with 22 children; data from them were analyzed using content analysis. Further, 26 caregivers completed a questionnaire; the resulting data were analyzed using qualitative thematic analysis. The results showed that the pictorial material worked as support and increased understanding and preparedness in both groups. Further, the children’s participation increased during their health visit. This indicates that pictorial support strengthens children’s rights in healthcare settings, suggesting that it should be used on a permanent basis.

Abstract på svenska

Enligt FN:s barnkonvention har barn rätt att uttrycka sina åsikter och att bli hörda. Användningen av bildstöd i barnspecifik information från barnhälsovården (BVH) kan förbättra barns möjlighet att delta i sin egen vård. Denna studie syftade till att utforska 5-åriga barns och deras vårdgivares erfarenheter av bildmaterial som används av BHV i Västsverige.  Semistrukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med 22 barn; data från dem analyserades med hjälp av innehållsanalys.  Vidare fyllde 26 vårdgivare i ett frågeformulär. Data analyserades med hjälp av kvalitativ tematisk analys. Resultaten visade att bildmaterialet fungerade som stöd och gav ökad förståelse och beredskap i båda grupperna.  Vidare ökade barnens deltagande under deras hälsobesök.  Detta indikerar att bildstöd stärker barns rättigheter i vårdmiljöer, vilket tyder på att det bör användas på permanent basis.

Den svenska versionen av abstractet lades till i version 2 av denna artikel. Översättningen gjordes av tidskriftens redaktion.
