Abstrakt: Aim: The aim of the study was to compare parental satisfaction items before and after the implementation of The Ages & Stages Questionnaires (ASQ) as part of the health check-up.
Methods: ASQ was implemented in regular health check-ups of infants up to two years of age in 9 Norwegian well-baby clinics. After the infant's two years' health check-ups, a questionnaire-based survey among 652 families before and 562 families after intervention was conducted. Descriptive analyses and ordinal logistic regression were used to report and compare parental satisfaction items before and after the project.
Results: Parents reported high satisfaction with well-baby services both before and after the implementation of ASQ, and ninety-six per cent recommended other well-baby clinics to use ASQ. Some significant differences appeared, before the implementation of ASQ, parents were more satisfied with the support they received regarding parenting and child development in general and information about the child's physical health. After ASQ was implemented, parents were significantly more satisfied with the information they received about 'the child's mental health'.
Conclusion: Developmental screening in well-baby clinics in Norway is acceptable among parents with young children. The use of standardised instruments must not come at the expense of listening to parents' concerns.
