Description
The goal of this project is the systematic and evidence based development of digital health care services for expecting parents and parents of infants, who are disadvantaged in the health care context of maternity care, nursing, occupational therapy, physiotherapy and pediatric care, because of language or cultural barriers.
As a reference point for the development of digitally based
health care, we will use the Model for the Development and
Evaluation of Complex Interventions by Craig et al (2008). These
complex interventions comprise several mutually dependent and
interacting measures and components, which are developed
systematically, with the help of theoretical analyses and
preliminary studies.
With this research project, we aim to create a basis for the
development of complex interventions, which would increase the
health literacy of expecting parents, or parents of
infants.
