This study aims to further Work-family conflict research for Social Workers by providing insight into what kind of impact the job role of social workers in Sweden has on their private lives and how they deal with it. The study operates from a qualitative approach and is based on three focus group-interviews and three semi-structured interviews with people working in different fields of social work. The empirical material has been analyzed through the Dramaturgical Perspective and Frame concept of Erving Goffman. The results of this study show that the job role impacts the psychological well-being of social workers, their family life and their social life to varying degrees, mainly due to organizational and client-based aspects, often resulting in role-conflicts and a lack of energy in their private lives. The primary strategies were found to be conversing with colleagues, spending time alone, embracing hobbies and having a clear understanding of individual responsibility. .

Bakgrund:Problematik kring suicid har funnits i årtusenden och suicid är ett globalt folkhälsoproblem. Enligt WHO:s statistik dör en miljon människor varje år på grund av suicid. Tidigare forskning visar att sjuksköterskan kan ha olika attityder gentemot suicidalitet och att attityden påverkar omvårdnaden av den suicidala patienten. Sjuksköterskan kommer i sitt omvårdnadsarbete komma i kontakt med suicidala patienter inom alla vårdområden och behöver därför ha en beredskap att möta människor med suicidal problematik.Syfte: Syftet är att identifiera faktorer som påverkar sjuksköterskans attityd vid omvårdnad av suicidala patienter.Metod:Studien är en litteraturöversikt baserad på 10 vetenskapliga artiklar.Resultat:Det framkom att sjuksköterskans sinnesstämning, personliga erfarenheter, utbildning/kunskap, ålder/erfarenhet och religion påverkar sjuksköterskans attityd positivt eller negativt vid omvårdnad av suicidala patienter.Diskussion:Omvårdnaden av suicidala patienter underlättas om sjuksköterskan har en positiv, icke dömande attityd. Av de teman som framkommit i resultatet i litteraturöversikten är utbildning det som påverkar sjuksköterskans attityd i störst omfattning. Aaron Antonovskys teori KASAM har använts som teoretisk referensram då teorin bygger på känsla av sammanhang.

Forskning visar att personliga assistenter är en yrkesgrupp som ofta har en bristande psykosocial arbetsmiljö på grund av att assistenterna många gånger arbetar ensamma hos kunden, har brist på tydliga riktlinjer från ledningen samt otillräckligt socialt stöd. Detta i kombination med kunders alkoholmissbruk och deras självbestämmanderätt kan ytterligare skapa utsatthet och etiska dilemman hos assistenterna. Syftet med vår studie var att undersöka hur personliga assistenter beskriver att deras psykosociala arbetsmiljö påverkas av kundens alkoholmissbruk. Vidare var det av vikt att belysa kundens självbestämmanderätt och assistenternas egna gränsdragningar i denna problematik. För att besvara vårt syfte valde vi en kvalitativ undersökningsmetod och intervjuade fem personliga assistenter som har erfarenheter av kunder som lever med alkoholmissbruk.

Social insatsgrupp är en strukturerad samverkan mellan i första hand polis, socialtjänst och skola med målen att förhindra nyrekrytering av ungdomar till kriminella grupperingar samt att underlätta avhopp från kriminella grupperingar.

Södertälje kommun är en av de tolv kommuner där Rikspolisstyrelsen inrättat pilotverksamheten social insatsgrupp på uppdrag av regeringen.

Syftet med vårt examensarbete är att undersöka förekomsten av skönlitteratur i undervisningen hos tre tillfrågade lärare. Med vårt arbete vill vi belysa deras inställning till skönlitteraturens pedagogiska kvalitéer samt synliggöra och diskutera den problematik som kan förekomma gällande arbete med skönlitteratur. För att besvara våra frågeställningar har vi använt oss av relevant litteratur samt intervjuer och observationer utav tre lärare. Samtliga tillfrågade lärare använder sig av skönlitteratur för att de anser att det ger lästräning, läsförståelse, upplevelser, utökar ordförrådet, att undervisningen blir mer lustfylld samt att det är lättare för eleverna att få förståelse för skeenden i världen och i historien genom att relatera till sig själva. Tiden är en avgörande faktor för i vilken utsträckning lärarna använder sig av skönlitteratur, men de betonar också vikten av resurser och samarbete i arbetslaget.

Syftet med denna studie är att ge en djupare insikt i hur man definierar det problematiska fenomenet högfrekvent dator-och tvspel. I denna studie kommer fenomenet att definieras, beskrivas och problematiseras av verksamma inom socialt arbete, där grunden för vår empiriska studie baseras på en kvalitativ ansats i form av intervjuer. Urvalsgruppen består av fyra intervjupersoner, en kurator, en terapeut, en socialarbetare på en förening som arbetar specifikt med denna problematik och en socialarbetare inom socialtjänsten. Genom intervjuerna och en sammanfattning av dessa kan vi se en brist på en tydlig definition av fenomenet och därmed ett behov av en konkret definition. Intervjuerna visar också skillnader kring vad de olika intervjupersonerna anser att det finns för insatser för personer med denna typ av problematik.

An effort to modernize the party has therefore begun.
