| Description | Journal: Journal of Clinical Nursing Aims and objectives The aim of this study was to describe the perceptions that municipal primary health care nurses and municipal registered nurses had about a web‐based learning intervention concerning supportive family health conversations in municipal home health care. Background Even though family health conversations is well grounded in theory with several reported benefits for patients and families, most working nurses have little or no training in practicing family systems nursing including family health conversations. Continued learning is necessarily for nurses, where web‐based learning may be one answer of updating the professional skills and knowledge of nurses regarding supporting families. Design The study used a descriptive design and followed the “Consolidated criteria for reporting qualitative research” (COREQ) checklist. Methods Twenty‐one nurses participated in an educational intervention that consisted of web‐based learning and two face‐to‐face seminars about family systems nursing including family health conversations. The nurses were interviewed after completion and the audio‐recorded interviews were transcribed verbatim and analyzed using qualitative content analysis. Results The findings consist of nurses’ perceptions regarding the disposition of instruction, the prerequisites for learning and a changed approach when working with families. The findings are further reflected on through Illeris’ theory concerning learning triangle. Conclusions The findings is encouraging for educating nurses in family health conversations at their workplace, with the purpose of supporting patients and families. However, it is important to be aware of the different dimensions of learning, in addition to the appraisal of social aspects and organizational circumstances when educating nurses as they influence the utilization of the knowledge. Relevance to clinical practice This web‐based learning intervention seems to be suitable for educating nurses in family health conversations and could be an appropriate step towards implementing these conversations in home health care with the purpose of supporting families.
