Abstract

Abstract In 2014, a Mental Health Act was introduced in Victoria, Australia which mandated clinicians to recognize and support consumers’ children. Interviews were conducted with 11 clinical adult mental health professionals about their views and experiences of the introduction of the Act and its impact on their practices. Interviews revealed that sections of the Act relating to consumers’ children were not promoted within organizations and did not result in revolutionary practice change. Instead, practice development staff within organizations were viewed as the main drivers of practices to support consumers’ children. Suggestions are made for enhancing the impact of legislation to promote practice change.

支持父母患有精神疾病的孩子的立法政策:革命还是进化?

摘要2014年，澳大利亚维多利亚州出台了《心理健康法》，要求临床医生承认并支持消费者的孩子。对11名临床成年心理健康专业人员进行了访谈，了解他们对该法案出台的看法和经验，以及该法案对他们实践的影响。采访显示，该法案中与消费者子女有关的条款没有在组织内得到推广，也没有导致革命性的做法改变。相反，组织内的实践发展人员被视为支持消费者子女的实践的主要驱动力。提出了加强立法影响促进实践变革的建议。
