Transition to parenthood: parents’ experiences of an extended home visiting programme in socioeconomically disadvantaged areas of Sweden

Extended home visiting was experienced by participating parents as meaningful and supportive within contexts of social disadvantage. The programme's relational and interprofessional approach appeared to facilitate trust and parental confidence. These findings highlight how equity-oriented, home-based interventions may be experienced in diverse urban settings, while underscoring the importance of contextual and relational dynamics in shaping such experiences.

Abstract

Extended home visiting was experienced by participating parents as meaningful and supportive within contexts of social disadvantage. The programme's relational and interprofessional approach appeared to facilitate trust and parental confidence. These findings highlight how equity-oriented, home-based interventions may be experienced in diverse urban settings, while underscoring the importance of contextual and relational dynamics in shaping such experiences.
