Sömnproblem hos barn är relativt och svårt att definiera, då det utgår från föräldrarnas subjektiva erfarenheter av vad som är ett problem. I den forskning som finns om barns sömnproblem har det visat sig att föräldrar inte alltid är nöjda med stödet inom BVC-verksamheten. Det innebär att det behövs mer kunskap om hur BVC-sköterskan skall bemöta föräldrar som upplever att deras barn har sömnproblem. Studiens syfte utformades utifrån denna bakgrund för att undersöka föräldrars erfarenheter av bemötande från BVC-sköterskan. Sju intervjuer genomfördes med föräldrar där en kvalitativ innehållsanalys utfördes på de transkriberade intervjuerna.
