Syftet med denna studie har varit att öka kunskapen om kvinnor som utsatts för sexuellt våld och om våldets konsekvenser; hur det tar sig uttryck i form av självskattade posttraumatiska symtom och självskattad upplevd livskvalitet, samt hur dessa förhåller sig till varandra. Undersökningsgruppen bestod av 34 kvinnor som sökt och erbjudits behandling inom ramen för ett psykiatriskt behandlingsteam för patienter utsatta för sexuella övergrepp. De har fyllt isjälvskattningsformulär för traumasymtom (HTQ) och subjektiv livskvalitet (QOLI). Resultatet visar att sexuellt våld tycks ha omfattande och långvariga konsekvenser i form av såväl posttraumatiska symtom, som en subjektiv upplevelse av sänkt livskvalitet på flertalet områden. Det förelåg dock inget entydigt samband dem emellan, i det att högre grad av posttraumatiska symtom nödvändigtvis hängde samman med lägre grad av subjektiv livskvalitet.

Abstract This essay is about the visibility of everyday life in a nursing home. The thesis is based on the following questions: What characterizes the social life and conversation between staff and residents? What content has the social life and the conversation between these parties? What is the power relationship between the staff and residents? To answer these questions, we used the qualitative approach with open observations, along with interviews. The study is partly based on direct observation by an observer as a participant in a special housing, and on semi-structured interviews with seven respondents, three of them staff and four residents in the same nursing home.
