Abstract [en]

Background 

In a world where the development of technology is fast and is continually creating new challenges for human health, there is a need to find an uncomplicated method to educate people to prevent different diseases and increase the level of physical activity. In Sweden, there is a book (Saga Sagor FKFK) that children receive during their 5-year health control visit in order to improve physical activity level. There is a long history of using books for educational purposes and has been shown to increase knowledge. 

Aim 

  1. To describe the creation and implementation process in the case of Saga Sagor FKFK and to identify potential improvements for future similar projects.
  2. To describe how the book was experienced by child healthcare nurses and adoption of the book. 

Methods

This is a descriptive study, which includes two semi-structured interviews and 574 answers from a survey of nurses working within child health care. 

Results

The implementation of the book is divided into 11 steps that describes process of implementation. Nurses confirmed that they would need extra material and training about healthy lifestyles in order to improve the quality of child health care visits. 

The results indicate that 99% of nurses have a positive experience in working with the book and are using it during the 5-year health care visits. 

Conclusions

In conclusion, Saga Sagor FKFK is a popular tool among nurses and facilitates their work during child health care visits. Thus, more material is needed in order to make the work with the book easier.
