The aim of the study was to examine individual staff experience and management of threats and violence in the acute psychiatric department for children and teenagers in Uppsala. Previous research shows that the experience of threats and/or violence is individual, and that it is difficult to distinguish between these concepts.

Bakgrund: Begreppet självskadebeteende är svårdefinierat och tycks inte ha nått konsensus inom vården. Evidens tyder på en ökad förekomst av, framför allt unga, patienter med självskadebeteende. Patienterna uttrycker ett stort behov av att sjuksköterskorna har en förståelse för deras livsvärld och självskadebeteendets bakomliggande orsaker. Sjuksköterskor å andra sidan upplever att de saknar utbildning och tillfälle för reflektion för att möjliggöra en ökad förståelse och förbättrad vård kring patienter med självskadebeteende. Syfte: Att belysa sjuksköterskans upplevelse av vårdandet av patienter med självskadebeteende inom akutpsykiatrisk öppenvård.

The purpose of this essay is to explore how social workers view a possible connection between exposure to honour violence and development of mental illness and/or substance abuse. We first heard of the possible connection from a voluntary organization who work in this field and who believe that this connection could be common. We therefore wanted to explore this from the perspective of social workers who come into contact with victims of honour violence: was this something they had noticed? How did they deal with it if it was noticed? We also asked how the possible connection could be interpreted and, supposing the social workers had failed to notice the connection, why this could be. We made five qualitative interviews with six social workers working in different contexts whom within their work come across honour-related issues.
