Abstract
This qualitative study on nurses who provide health case management for children in foster care examined their vision for the care needed to improve health outcomes. A purposive sample of eight public health nurses was selected to participate in semistructured interviews. Data were analyzed using content analysis to formulate a narrative description of the nurses' vision. Two themes emerged from the data: (1) the desire to give holistic care with an emphasis on mental health care and (2) the difficulty with providing preventive care as a result of multiple causes of health problems.
