Living with separated parents: A study on social workers' views on how parental separation can affect a child The purpose of the study was to investigate how social workers who worked with children felt that parental separation affected the children. The study also investigated which support measures the interviewees identified were available for these children. The data was collected through semi-structured interviews with seven social workers. The results of the study showed that the interviewees believed that the separation does not necessarily have to affect the child negatively, but that serious conflicts between the parents affected the child negatively. What the interviewees believed was decisive for if the child was affected by the separation was the parents ability to cooperate with each other. Regarding support measures, the interviewees described similar arrangements for most of the support measures. / Studiens syfte var att undersöka hur socialarbetare som arbetade med barn ansåg att föräldrars separation påverkade barnen. Studien undersökte också vilka stödinsatser intervjupersonerna identifierade fanns tillgängliga för dessa barn. Datan samlades in genom semistrukturerade intervjuer med sju socialarbetare. Studiens resultat visade att intervjupersonerna ansåg att separationen inte nödvändigtvis behöver påverka barnet negativt men att allvarliga konflikter mellan föräldrarna påverkade barnet negativt. Det som intervjupersonerna trodde var avgörande för att barnet påverkades var om föräldrarna kunde samarbeta med varandra. Gällande stödinsatser beskrev intervjupersonerna liknande upplägg för de flesta av stödinsatserna.
