- Brief Summary
Primary child healthcare in Sweden is an important arena for health promotion interventions as nurses regularly meet parents and children from birth to five years of age. To date there is a lack of evidence-based material for child healthcare nurses to use in health promotion talks within primary child healthcare. Therefore, the aims of this study are to: (i) evaluate the effectiveness of Saga Stories in health talks on parental self-efficacy to promote healthy diet, physical activity, and screen time behaviours in 5-year-old children and (ii) evaluate the implementation of Saga Stories in health talks with regards to acceptability, appropriateness, feasibility, fidelity, adoption, sustainability, satisfaction, and usage.
