Personal assistants experience of their social work environment : An interview study (English)
Abstract [sv]
Syftet med studien var att undersöka hur personliga assistenter upplever sin sociala arbetsmiljö, och hur den kan utvecklas. Studiens frågeställningar begränsade syftet till personliga assistenters relation till brukare, deras anhöriga samt assistenters kollegiala stöd. Som ett teoretiskt perspektiv användes Edgar Scheins organisationsteori om tre kulturnivåer.
Detta är en kvalitativ studie. Data samlades in via intervjuer som bearbetades och analyserades utifrån en tematisk analys. Detta resulterade i tre teman; (1) Brukarens hem men vår arbetsplats. (2) Att förhålla sig till anhöriga. (3) Samverkan med kollegor.
Slutsatsen som framkom var att relationen till brukaren var det viktigaste i yrket, anhörigas närvaro förändrar den sociala dynamiken och det finns ett behov av ett bättre stödnätverk inom yrket.
