Psychiatry could be a good starting point for preventive work for children of mentally ill parents by detecting children who are potentially at risk and connecting affected families with preventive services. However, it is unclear how much attention clinical psychiatrists pay for children of their patients. Therefore, this study examines the knowledge of german psychiatrists about the children of their patients and their attitude towards the youth welfare and prevention system.
Seven psychiatric hospitals of one federal state in Germany participated in a questionnaire survey.
The majority of the psychiatrists know whether their patients have children or not, but they can not answer differentiate questions of the children's life circumstances or name preventive programs for children and their families. Furthermore, psychiatrists potentially could forestall preventive programs because of a lack of knowledge about the youth welfare.
Psychiatrists need more information about the children of their patients and about the general possibilities of prevention as well as more knowledge of supportive offers of the youth welfare.
精神病学可以成为针对患有精神疾病的父母的子女开展预防工作的良好起点，通过识别有潜在风险的儿童，并将受影响的家庭与预防服务联系起来。然而，尚不清楚临床精神科医生对其患者的子女给予了多少关注。因此，本研究调查了德国精神科医生对其患者子女的了解情况以及他们对青少年福利和预防体系的态度。
德国一个联邦州的七家精神病医院参与了问卷调查。
大多数精神科医生知道他们的患者是否有子女，但他们无法回答有关子女生活状况的具体问题，也说不出针对儿童及其家庭的预防项目。此外，由于对青少年福利缺乏了解，精神科医生可能会阻碍预防项目的开展。
精神科医生需要更多关于其患者子女的信息、关于预防的总体可能性的信息，以及更多关于青少年福利支持服务的知识。
