This study used an interpretive description design to analyze 206 anonymous reflection notes from public health nurses implementing the New Families home visiting programme in Norway. Limitations included the lack of demographic data on nurses and the inability to track changes in reflections over time. The findings suggest the programme is seen as a beneficial extension of standard child health services, primarily from the nurses' perspective, though its population-level impact requires further research.
