- Abstract
- The aim was to examine nurses and healthcare counselors reasoning about support for children as relatives of patients in adult psychiatric inpatient care. The healthcare law in Sweden, 5:7 HSL, describes children as entitled to information, advice and support by healthcare professionals when living together with adult relatives that have mental health illness.

Previous research shows that children are at risk of harm and illness when they have parents with mental illness but previous research also shows that children don´t receive support despite legislation. Seven participants, healthcare counselors and nurses, who work in adult psychiatric inpatient care in Skåne, were interviewed with semi-structured interviews. The empirical data has been analyzed on the basis of Lipsky´s theory of street-level bureaucracy, the ecological theory of Bronfenbrenner and Antonovsky´s theory of sence of coherence.
The result shows that both nurses and social workers discuss children as relatives as if it´s only the healthcare counselors’ responsibility, despite that the legislation highlights that all healthcare professionals are obliged to consider children as relatives. But some social workers also don´t provide support to children as relatives due to patients´ brief period of emergency medical and social care. They hand over responsibility for children to the social services according to 14:1 SoL, which legislates the obligation to report when children are at risk of harm. Two healthcare counselors reason differently and say they regularly give support to children as relatives according to 5:7 HSL. (Less)
