Notions of risk, risk assessment and children's treatment needs, and the implementation of systematic risk assessment
- 2015
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Aim: The aim of the paper is to discuss how the implementation of a structured risk- and safety interview may be affected by professionals’ views on domestic violence and risks for children, risk assessment and children’s treatment needs, as well as previous knowledge and experiences of other assessment instruments/models.Background: At present, there is ongoing work at a national level in Sweden to introduce evidence based methods in the field of domestic violence intervention. The paper draws on a recently completed research study in Sweden on the development of assessments of, and support interventions for, children subjected to violence, specifically the part of the project that aimed to implement a routine inquiry about parent reports on intimate partner violence and child abuse, and to try out a structured risk-/safety interview within social services and child and adolescent mental health units.Methods: The empirical data consists of group interviews with professionals from 18 different units that participated in the project. Out of the 18 units, 17 are run by local governments, two of which are specialized domestic violence units, one a family assessment centre, three women’s refuges/safe houses, and 11 ordinary child welfare/social services. One of the units is a non-profit organization providing support for children exposed to domestic violence.Findings: The professionals’ views on risk, risk assessment and children’s treatment needs when exposed to domestic violence are shaped by competing discourses on domestic violence, current in the Swedish national debate. There were some key differences in the way professionals working in the context of women’s refuges/safe houses and specialized domestic violence units managed to implement especially the structured risk-/safety interview, compared to the ordinary child welfare/social services. The extent to which professionals draw on a gendered discourse on domestic violence may account for some of these differences.Conclusion: The findings illustrate the need for careful consideration of institutional, organisational, and cultural aspects when developing evidence based practice in the field of domestic violence, specifically how methods and models with support in research will fit – or not fit – with established professional traditions.

Taking children exposed to intimate partner violence seriously? : developments in BBIC from 2006 to 2015
- 2016
-
Konferensbidrag (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- To improve child protection investigations the framework for assessment ”BBIC – Barns Behov I Centrum” [Children’s needs in the centre] was introduced in Sweden just after the new millennium, with the first full training resource published in 2006. There is a lack of research in Sweden about child protection work in cases of intimate partner violence generally and as regards BBIC specifically. However, a number of different sources indicate that there is a need for improvement of the BBIC system when it comes to this group of children at risk. For example, the national inspections of the local authorities’ work with abused women and children exposed to intimate partner violence carried out so far point to serious problems in child protection practice. Since BBIC was introduced the system has been amended and revised several times. A major revision was carried out in 2015. An important question is what these revisions may mean for the handling of cases of intimate partner violence. The aim of the paper is to map and assess how the issue of children’s exposure to violence has been addressed in the different versions of BBIC between 2006 and 2015. Surveying training resources and other documents from the last decade, we outline how there has been a gradual and partial inclusion of the issue of children’s exposure to violence over time, and discuss to what extent these amendments constitute a shift in perspective and emphasis major enough to be likely to impact positively on practice.

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Objective This study aimed to survey health care professionals in Sweden on the factors that they believe have been most important in reaching the current level of patient safety and achieving safer care in the future as well as the characteristics of the county councils that have been the most successful in achieving safe care. Methods The study population consisted of 222 patient safety officers, that is, health care professionals with strategic positions in patient safety work in the county councils. A postal questionnaire was used for data collection. Results The survey response rate was 70%. The factors that were considered most important for the current level of patient safety were efforts to reduce the use of antibiotics; Swedish patient safety law; and internal discussions with the county council management, heads of health care units, health care providers, and so on. The factors that were considered most important to achieve safer care in the future were improved communication between health care practitioners and patients, improved organizational culture, improved communication, and patient safety knowledge as a compulsory component of basic education for health care practitioners. Conclusions Several factors rated highly for achieving the current level of patient safety are part of the government-supported financial incentive plan. Patient safety is attributed to a broad range of factors, and many solutions might contribute to improved patient safety in the future. The most successful county councils are characterized by leadership support for patient safety, well-organized patient safety work, long-term commitment to patient safety, and an organizational culture that is conducive to patient safety.
