Little is known about how municipal strategies, programmes and plans pay attention to the promotion of children's mental health and whether it is discussed and reported in the municipal councils, boards and committees. The purpose of this study was to examine how municipalities in one Finnish region promote mental health, with a focus on the promotion of children's mental health.
Document analysis was used as a research method. Documents were selected for a one-year period (2018) from three municipalities of the North Savo region. Analysed documents (=269) were municipal strategies, programmes and plans, as well as meeting minutes of municipal councils, boards and committees. Eight domains of the structural indicators of mental health were used as an analysis frame.
In total, 1169 mentions related to the structural indicators of mental health were found in the documents. In strategies, programmes and plans, parenting-related mentions were found most often. Regarding the minutes, the issues discussed and reported about the wellbeing of children focused on practical issues, such as the construction of day care buildings.
对于市级战略、计划和方案如何关注儿童心理健康的促进，以及在市议会、委员会和小组中是否进行了讨论和报告，人们知之甚少。本研究的目的是探讨芬兰一个地区的市级单位如何促进心理健康，重点是促进儿童心理健康。
文件分析被用作一种研究方法。从北萨沃地区的三个市中选择了为期一年（2018 年）的文件。分析的文件（=269）包括市级战略、计划和方案，以及市议会、委员会和小组的会议记录。使用心理健康结构指标的 8 个领域作为分析框架。
在文件中总共发现了 1169 个与心理健康结构指标相关的提及。在战略、计划和方案中，与育儿相关的提及最为常见。至于会议记录，关于儿童福祉的讨论和报告集中在实际问题上，例如日托建筑的建设。
