Abstract
Abstract The detection of mental health problems in children by primary health care (PHC) nurses was investigated. The sample consisted of 133 children who attended a primary health care facility and 15 nurses. The results indicated that 49,6% of the child sample were identified by the RQC as having a mental health problem, however, the nurses only detected 1,5% of these mental health problems. Nurses believed they were capable of treating psychosocial problems and that this was relevant to their professional role, but that organisational factors prevented them from routinely so doing.
