| الوصف: | Aim Describe empowerment in maternity and child healthcare from the perspective of self‐identified lesbian, gay, bisexual, trans, or queer (LGBTQ) parents in Finland. Background Parental empowerment is a core aspect of maternity and child healthcare. However, knowledge about LGBTQ parents' perceptions about empowerment is still lacking. Method Qualitative design, 22 parents participating. The interviews were conducted in between July and September 2016 and analysed using inductive content analysis. Findings Three core categories emerged as follows: (a) recognition and acknowledgment, particularly being treated as a parent, irrespective of any biological or legal ties to a child; (b) cooperation and interaction, such as working together, respecting parents' autonomy, and supporting parents' full involvement; (c) equitable care, such as parents' trust in services, but also a health‐care professional's knowledge of a family's special needs. Conclusion Empowerment was perceived as the parents' sense of being visible and recognized as a parent. This recognition requires education and structures that are inclusive of all families. In addition, the language used by professionals was a key indicator for promoting positive feelings of comfort and safety for all families. |
