| Résumé : | [BDSP. Notice produite par INIST 8A685R0x. Diffusion soumise à autorisation]. Objectives. This study examined differences between nurses and paraprofessionals in implementation of a home visiting program for low-income, first-time parents during pregnancy and the first 2 years of the child's life. Methods. Mothers were randomly assigned to either a nurse-visited (n=236) or a paraprofessionnal-visited (n=244) condition. Nurse-and paraprofessional-visited families were compared on number and length of visits, topics covered, number of program dropouts, and relationship with home visitor. Results. On average, nurses completed more visits than paraprofessionals (28 vs 23 ; P<. 001) and spent a greater proportion of time on physical health issues during pregnancy (38% vs 27% ; P<. 001) and on parenting issues during infancy (46% vs 32% ; P<. 001). Paraprofessionals conducted visits that lasted longer and spent a greater proportion of time on environmental health and safety issues (15% vs 7% pregnancy ; 15% vs 8% infancy ; P<. 001)/While home visitors were viewed equally positively by mothers, nurses had fewer dropouts than did paraprofessionals (38% vs 48% ; P=04). More paraprofessional-visited families than nurse-visited families experienced staff turnover. Conclusions. Nurses and paraprofessionals, evenwhen using the same model, provide home visiting services indifferent ways. |
