Parents' reasons for not attending parental education groups in antenatal and child health care: A qualitative study.

Parents of today are a diverse group with different interests and needs. Nevertheless, all parents need to feel included in a way that makes participation in PE groups relevant for them. Thus, it is important for leaders to be aware of structures and norms, and to be able to create a group climate and a pedagogy of acceptance where group members value each other's differences. However, to attract parents to participate in PE groups, it is necessary for clinical practice to work on individual, group and organisational levels.
