How do employees at women shelters experience their working environment? : A qualitative study about their own experiences (English)
Abstract [sv]

Var femte kvinna i Sverige utsätts någon gång under sitt liv för brott i nära relation, där mäns våld mot kvinnor är starkt överrepresenterade. Forskning har visat på att behandling av våldsutsatta kvinnor efter ett trauma är ett av de svåraste och mest krävande behandlingsarbetet, huvudsakligen på grund av exponering av den utsatta kvinnans svåra livssituation. I Sverige finns det cirka 200 kvinnojourer som arbetar för att ge stöd och skydd till utsatta kvinnor.

Strukturerade intervjuer genomfördes med sju kvinnor på kvinnojourer med fokus på hur de upplever sin arbetsmiljö. I resultatet av den tematiska analysen framträdde fem teman: (1) arbetsuppgifter, (2) resurser, (3) påfrestningar, (4) framgång samt (5) stöd.

Studiens resultat ger förståelse för hur personal inom kvinnojourer kan uppleva sin arbetsmiljö utifrån sina erfarenheter och att det kan vara användbar kunskap för kvinnojourer i utvecklandet av deras organisationer. Studien utgör därmed ett psykologiskt bidrag till forskningen om upplevelsen av arbete och arbetsvillkor på kvinnojourer.

Abstract [en]

Every fifth woman in Sweden is at some point during her life exposed to crimes in close relationships, where men's violence against women is strongly over-represented. Research has shown that treating women who have been subjected to violence after a trauma is one of the most difficult and hard treatment work, mainly due to exposure of the vulnerable woman's difficult life situation. In Sweden, there are about 200 women's shelters working to provide support and protection to vulnerable women.

Structured interviews were conducted with seven women at women's shelters, focusing on how they experience their work environment. Five themes emerged in the results of the thematic analysis: (1) work tasks, (2) resources, (3) strains (4) success and (5) support.

The results of the study provide an understanding of how staff in women's shelters can experience their working environment based on their own experiences, and that it can be useful knowledge for women's shelters in the development of their organizations. The study constitutes a psychological contribution to the research on experiences of work and working conditions in women's shelters.
