Sammanfattning
According to new Norwegian laws, mental health care for adults are obligated to assess all
patients who are parents and to act on their children’s needs. This article outlines results from earlier
publications in an ongoing study; a research project designed to evaluate the process of changes in
clinical practice due to the implementation of new interventions for children of patients in a large
General Psychiatric Clinic for adults. There are two groups of participants in this ongoing research
project: (1) mental health workers in the clinic (N = 219), and (2) patients who are parents receiving
treatment in the clinic (N = 5268?5705). In the evaluation of clinical practice we used a pretest,
posttest and 1-year follow-up design. A significantly higher number of mental health care workers
reported that they identified whether or not patients had children at post-measures compared to
baseline measures; however, data from patient journals does not reflect such changes. Mental health
workers reported that the conditions needed to change clinical practice regarding the children of the
patients were still not in place in the workplace.
