Abstract
For human health, childhood has an essential function, thus it is necessary that children live in convenient and safe conditions. One of these is the level of health literacy of their mothers.
The aim of the research was to specify (and supplement) the content of health literacy of mothers in the first year of motherhood with experts' experience and opinions. Research sample and methods: The data were collected in non-structured interviews with experts (n = 12) from the fields of medicine, nursing, social work, education, sociology and andragogy.
The data were analysed and described based on thematic interpretative phenomenological analysis (IPA). In the interpretative frame (map) of the expert concept of health literacy, specified as the key context are the phenomena of "Love, Relationships, and Interest", which are mentioned in some way by all the experts.
The following six thematic satiated phenomena were determined: (1) start at school, (2) lack of family experience, (3) mother is all right, (4) know where to go for help, (5) mother as the doctor's partner, (6) watch out for extremes. The foundations of the context of mothers' health literacy are relationships: the mother's love of the child, her interest in the child, and a loving father.
These relationships support the psychological welfare of the mother.
