- Abstract
Background: Nutrition related communication between public health nurses and immigrant mothers is challenging. Limited Norwegian language skills among immigrant mothers, as well as understanding of health and nutrition concepts, and associated relationships, have been suggested as possible explanations for this. Objective: To explore the perception of public health nurses of Norwegian mothers' and immigrant mothers' ‘interactive nutrition literacy' using a questionnaire. Method: Eight Likert-scaled attitude statements (1 = ‘strongly disagree’ to 5 = ‘strongly agree’) reflecting public health nurses' perception of ‘interactive nutrition literacy' of mothers visiting healthcare centres were developed. A total of 280 healthcare centres and public health nurses (N = 666) participated in the study. The Rasch analysis was used to validate and compare mean scores on two identical, robust attitude constructs measuring public health nurses perceptions of Norwegian mothers' and immigrant mothers› ‘interactive nutrition literacy', respectively. Results: The Rasch analysis demonstrated a difference in the public health nurses' perception of the ‘interactive nutrition literacy' level of Norwegian mothers vs. immigrant mothers; they perceived the latter group's level as the lower. Conclusion: Public health nurses' nutrition communication with mothers who visit the health centres in Norway should be adapted to their different levels of ‘interactive nutrition literacy'.
