All parents in Sweden are offered group based parental support within Child Health Service (CHS) but only 40% participate. Nurses feel insecure in their group leadership and express a need for education in group leadership and group dynamics. Most CHC nurses do not have formal education or training in group leadership and the aim of this study was to evaluate a group based education program in group leadership for Child Health Care (CHC) nurses.
The study follows the guidelines for complex interventions (MRC) and was set up as a randomized controlled trial (RCT) evaluated with questionnaires before and after the intervention. Focus group interviews 6 months after the intervention will be performed with the CHC nurses participating in intervention group. 3 groups with 25 CHC nurses in each group are to participate in a three day education in group leadership and group processes. The education aims to provide knowledge and awareness about group dynamics, group processes and group leadership and also aims towards increased self-awareness in the role as group leader.
