Nine baby nurses were interviewed. The material was analyzed with the help of a phenomenological method.

The participators idea of the concept child maltreatment was focused on observing signs from the child and concrete actions from the parents. The outcome of this concept is that the participators categorization is neither or nor. The participators knew about the mandatory reporting and they did a further interpretation because they focused on the risk of the child. Despite this, the participators had submitted few reports to the social service. The participators did not describe anywhere what the consequences can be for the maltreated child's health and development. It seems as though the lack of a theoretical frame of reference make the participators unable to clarify this concept. (Less)
